11st 8lb |
Bought out of the Emma Lavelle yard for 3,800gns in July after finishing tailed off on the Flat in first-time cheekpieces; won a maiden hurdle last October and could go well if Gordon Elliott can get her back to that level of form. |

11st 3lb |
Flat maiden despite threatening a couple of times; never finished out of the first two in first four hurdle runs and she had a stiff task from out the weights at Cheltenham in April, before a disappointing run back at this level at Warwick last month when appearing not to stay the 2m5f; remains with potential in this sphere and is one to consider back in distance. |

Safely held off lowly marks in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m5f) and needs to find some improvement from somewhere. |

18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Regressive since showing early promise on the Flat in Ireland as a 2yo, her last six starts coming over hurdles; look elsewhere. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat in Ireland but she's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard, including since switched to handicaps; out of the weights and needs the first-time blinkers to turn things around. |

Flat winner in France in summer 2023 but yet to show any worthwhile form on the Flat or over hurdles in Britain and is 23lb out of the weights for this handicap hurdle debut; sports first-time blinkers. |

Won on soft ground in France last summer (11.5f) but has struggled on the AW and over hurdles since joining current stable in the autumn; urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

Placed in low-grade handicaps at up to 2m on the Flat, including on heavy; has not accomplished much over hurdles on last five outings but at least her fitness should be assured; needs a second look for in-form yard. |

Placed in low-grade handicaps at up to 2m on the Flat and ran well for a long way when upped to 3m for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (heavy); effectively 1lb higher today but might last longer on the less testing ground; dangerous to ignore. |

Not seen over hurdles since pulled up on handicap debut for Stuart Edmunds in January 2024; placed off basement Flat mark for new stable in January this year but not in same form since; not the most obvious answer. |

0-19 (Flat/hurdles); posted a promising effort on stable debut over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; failed to build on that in her next two starts but then shaped encouragingly in first-time blinkers (retained) over 1m at Chelmsford in March; needs to back that up now switching to turf. |

Three-time hurdles winner whose form slumped in Britain last winter; low-key stable debut at Listowel in June was followed by a fall at Killarney; never in the hunt at Listowel festival; trainer appears to have a better chance with Meehall. |

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip. |

12st 0lb |
Three Flat wins early in 2023 and another at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) that November on second start over hurdles; back from a year off with creditable third on handicap hurdle debut at Hereford in the autumn but she's not gone on from that and was only third of four at Market Rasen last month; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-7 over hurdles and others are more convincing; cheekpieces added. |

Verdict
Grain Of Hope (second choice) may confirm Ludlow form with her victims, although she needs to prove herself on ground softer than good. Both of Stuart Edmunds’ runners can be considered but perhaps SAISISSANTE can take a major step forward with the aids back on.[Jonathan Neesom]
