Promising novice at up to 3m for Jonjo O'Neill in 2023-24 season but well beaten in two handicaps for new stable this year (2m5f/2m4f), the latter at Hexham a fortnight ago; needs to get career back on track. |

Won a 2m4f novice hurdle at Carlisle (soft) in October 2023 when with Jonjo O'Neill; 3l behind Pinot Rouge in a Listed mares' novice the following month (3m, good) but now 9lb better off; pulled up at Ayr last time; had a wind op since; interesting. |

Ended up with plenty to do and was hampered late on at Warwick last time; previous fourth at Market Rasen reads quite well in the context of this race; this longer trip should be in her favour; more solid than some. |

11st 3lb |
Placed on all three hurdle starts (1m7f/2m, soft/good to soft), most recently over C&D; not obviously well treated off her opening mark but she's unexposed and her dam was useful, so she's open to improvement. |

Promise in both bumpers (good to soft/good) and she's finished placed at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on her first two hurdle starts; her useful dam showed her best form at 2m4f and she's one to consider now up in trip. |

Lightly raced 6yo who hinted at ability at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last spring and has had excuses for two soft-ground defeats since, the latest on 3m handicap debut at Taunton when back from a break and wind surgery; likely to do better on this more suitable ground. |

Hanging left-handed down the straight was no help when finishing well behind in a Uttoxeter bumper (good; 25-1); subsequent wind surgery and the fitting of a tongue-tie could trigger some improvement. |

Initial bumper promise for Harry Fry in late 2022, early 2023; soundly beaten in three starts in maiden/novice company (7f-1m4f; massive prices); tries handicapping over a more suitable trip at a realistic level, but only of interest if the market speaks favourably. |

Lightly raced bumper winner is 1-4 over hurdles; that win came on latest in a Tramore novice (20.5f, good to yielding); now makes her handicap debut off 116 upped to 3m for the first time; hard to know if she is well-handicapped but she's with a leading yard and she is unexposed; could go well. |
9/2 |
Verdict
This could be a decent bumper. ARMATHIA shaped with considerable promise at Wincanton behind horses who then ran good races at Cheltenham. Had Market Rasen not been abandoned on Friday, then Mellificent would have contested a strong Listed event there and this Uttoxeter winner is feared most. Larchmont Lass is another to be feared, while watch out for any confidence behind Rosalys.[Alistair Jones]
