Form: P-6P71 D

Last run: 18 days

W: 10st 7lb

6 yo Mare

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
Nothing to show for first four starts over hurdles but a different matter since a tongue-strap went on two starts ago; showed ability at Worcester and built on that when knuckling down to beat an in-form rival at Fontwell last month; 4lb rise might not stop her following up.

OR: 104

Form & Verdict
Juvenile hurdle winner at Doncaster last December but has mostly struggled since; tailed off on handicap debut here in July, after a break, and hard to be overly enthusiastic off the back of that.

Has become well handicapped but failed to build upon a satisfactory reappearance run when only sixth (behind Sinurita and Quiet Thunder) at Bangor (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and comes here with a bit to prove.

Back from a lengthy break to finish third at Uttoxeter and, although beaten some 15l, she could strip fitter this time; has dropped a good way down the weights.

Similar profile to My Little Toni, having scored just once over hurdles and been absent since last autumn; on a handy mark but the betting may prove best guide to expectations.

6 yo Mare

OR: 94

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on last autumn's best form but she provided no threat in two races here in the spring and has since run no more than respectably on the Flat; not ruled out, given her slipping mark, but bit to prove.

Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen.

Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form.

Off the mark when beating two subsequent winners at Worcester in July (made all); subsequent heavy defeat at Market Rasen down to being hampered at a vital time; 5lb higher than for the win; could prove hard to catch.

Form & Verdict
All four wins (one in a bumper) gained here; C&D success in June but the latest pair have come at 2m5f+; hold-up performer and will need a decent pace back at this trip, probably, but 3lb rise no great hardship; usual hood left off; obvious candidate.
