OR:

Form & Verdict
Well-beaten second to Followango in a course bumper in November (heavy); improved since a wind op, best effort when close third in a mares' maiden at Lingfield last time (2m3f, soft) when only just behind runner-up Followango; travelled well there and may reverse the form now down in trip.

Achieved little since her return last month (stable/handicap debut) from a lengthy absence, including when last of six finishers at Plumpton nine days ago; goes up in trip and while things can only get better, she's hard to suggest until showing something.

Form & Verdict
Beat Bluella Bresil by 19l in a bumper here in November (2m, heavy), but was only just in front of her when second on third hurdles run at Lingfield last time (2m3f, soft); drop to 2m not sure to be ideal.

Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance.

Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade.

Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft.

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender.

Verdict

In a trappy mares’ event in which all five runners have a chance, the choice is BLUELLA BRESIL who was a close third over 2m3f last time and could be suited by this drop back in trip. Followango, who has twice finished in front of her, and point winner Largy Force may be the ones to chase her home.[Colin Russell]
