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 |

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. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner who won her first two races over hurdles last season (first was over C&D) and was a close second to an improver on third run (2m4f, good); hasn't been out since a below-par effort in the mares' final at Newbury in March 2023; interesting on second handicap start. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Northern mare who has a solid record, including form figures of 112 since switched to hurdles; close second when upped to 2m4f at Ayr most recently; still open to further improvement and holds major claims provided she takes well to first-time headgear. |

Made the frame in Listed Cheltenham bumper in in November (good ground) and is 2-2 since switched to hurdles, the wins gained over 2m here and at Wetherby (both good to soft); open to improvement over today's longer trip and a very obvious contender. |

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

Thorough stayer who was very willing in beating a big field at Newbury (3m, soft) in January and she got going all too late at Doncaster (Listed race on soft; after 5lb rise); might be ridden more positively here to exploit her assured stamina. |

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. |

First win in a year when bouncing back to form at Perth last month (2m4f, soft); 5lb rise makes sense and she won't mind any drier ground, but have to hope the effects of the wind surgery which preceded that success last longer than those of the previous autumn's similar procedure. |

Has been taken out of races on good and soft ground but seemed fine on the latter surface when second of nine finishers over C&D in March; failed to give her running when upped to 2m7f at Chepstow next time (favourite) but still in the mix on return from break. |

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 |

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]
