Form & Verdict
Placed in two bumpers at the start of the year and made it third time lucky at Sedgefield last month, despite not looking entirely straightforward; plenty of winning hurdlers in her family and could be a lively candidate if taking to the discipline.

Went close on her hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last November but she's had only three runs since and has been well held in a novice and handicap in last two starts; still very lightly raced but she needs to get back on track at this new trip; cheekpieces added.

Unexposed mare who went close in Wincanton maiden (1m7f, good) on hurdling debut last November and was running a big race before coming to grief over that C&D on Boxing Day; didn't fire on latest outing in February but probably still has potential.

Showed some useful form in bumpers and might well have been placed in a Listed hurdle won by the smart Luccia had she not suffered a heavy fall late on; has a long absence to overcome and all her form is on good or good to soft, but her ability is respected in this company.

Hasn't quite gone on as expected after a promising beginning in bumpers; beaten favourite on her last two outings, including when third on her hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good; raced freely and lost a shoe) nine days ago; this higher grade demands improvement but that's certainly possible.
