1st Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Given break after a lacklustre performance last May and again looked out of sorts when reappearing last month; can't be supported with any confidence at present but she's now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D (heavy) on chasing debut last March. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Jumping lacked fluency last spring on first three chase starts and pulled up when last seen; however, she showed promise on her first two runs over fences and could have a part to play if back on song after a break. |

27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in a bumper and five hurdles at up to 3m2f, including on soft; entitled to need the run when pulled up on chase debut for new yard in January but might need this too, and regular cheekpieces still left off. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
12-race maiden but ran well to be placed in handicap hurdles last spring on final three runs for Stuart Edmunds (3m-3m2f, soft-good) and she'll be in the mix if transferring that form to fences at the first attempt. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hit the ground running when first tried in blinkers, winning twice (2m7f, good; 3m2f, good to soft); patchy since but two runs back she was runner-up on soft at Wincanton (3m1f) and that brings her into it. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won twice when fitted with blinkers in September (2m7f/3m2f) and looked as good as ever when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) last month; not one to rely upon heavily but will be fine on today's ground and features prominently in calculations. |

0-6 over hurdles and hasn't run over them since March 2023 but unpenalised for 2m7f chase win here (good) in April and ran well over 2m4f at Cheltenham next time; place chance. |

10st 2lb |
Won at 40-1 at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) in March 2023 off 2lb higher mark; no worthwhile form since, including last two runs over fences; returns from ten-month layoff and hard to enthuse over. |

Verdict
Ya Know Yaseff gave a good account at Wincanton last month and is also suited by this track but she’s not one to rely upon too heavily and it might pay to chance the fitness of LADY TREMAINE. Donald McCain’s mare clearly wasn’t herself on her latest start in May but she made a promising start to her chasing career towards the end of last season and resumes on a good mark.[Chris Wilson]
