17th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 2f 191y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner who landed heavy-ground handicap chase at Leicester in December; however, she looks outclassed in today's company. |
100/1 |
3rd 3 |
10th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Opened chasing account at third attempt, making all in three-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) last month; the value of that form is open to question (odds-on favourite disappointed) but she's still on a workable mark if judged on hurdling form and still has low mileage. |

11st 8lb |
Two wins over hurdles for Mark Walford, including over 2m here, two seasons ago; has had two long absences since but fair staying-on third over 2m at Doncaster on comeback in December; should improve for that; interesting back up in trip (runner-up over C&D in March 2023). |

Won twice as a novice for Mark Walford during 2022-23 season but was well beaten in a handicap on sole appearance last term; makes stable debut after another layoff and her current ability is hard to gauge. |

17th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Close third in a Chepstow bumper last March but she's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs since; takes a big drop back in trip but she needs considerable improvement. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Third in a Chepstow bumper but she has offered little in two runs in this sphere, pulled up in Southwell maiden (2m4f) in January; others appeal more. |

Never dangerous at 40-1 when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f) in June 2023; 9lb lower today but has raced only once since, when pulled up at 200-1 in a 2m3f novice 18 days ago; plenty to prove. |

Thorough stayer who had a very solid campaign last season, nearly all in handicaps, and a right slog in the mud should be right up her street if she's fit enough for this reappearance; upped in class and 3lb out of the handicap but she's one to consider. |

Sister to Edwardstone; close up on bumper debut round Southwell's sharp track and she ran better than the bare result on return from break behind a long odds-on shot at Exeter in February (2m, good to soft); of interest for yard that is 7-24 with hurdlers here in last five years. |

Half-sister to useful jumper Fancy Foundations; hooded and held up when promising second in Southwell bumper last May; was the clear pacesetter when switched to hurdling at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft; 14-1) on Boxing Day but she had steering issues and ran out around the home turn; comes with risks attached after that; interesting to see how she figures in the market. |

Easily won this last year and made it 3-3 here (good-heavy) when scoring over C&D in March; soundly beaten on final start last season and pulled up here on her return, but she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect based on her excellent record here previously. |

Responded well to first-time visor when winning Exeter seller (2m2f, good) last month but was safely held when back in a handicap a fortnight later and her overall profile remains unconvincing. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism in a seller at Exeter (2m2f, good; visor added) two weeks ago but she didn't have to run up to her best in that race and this is much tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Has yet to find any consistency and hasn't offered much in her two handicaps (soft an excuse last time), but she ran okay behind decent mares on her first two runs over hurdles; disappointing if she fails to play a part at this level; visor is a first. |
2/1 |
Verdict
The two previous hurdle winners have more to do but ARTEMIS KIMBO won well at Leicester despite some indifferent jumping. If that improves, she could defy the penalty. Space Voyage is feared most after her effort at Newbury with Ruby Island and Spring Note also considered.[Jonathan Neesom]
