8 yo Mare

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Has record of 2-15 over hurdles and her wins came in a C&D maiden (good to soft) and Stratford handicap (2m, good) early last year; only 2lb higher than for that last success and she gave it a decent shot from the front when a 3l fourth at Southwell (first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; that was behind an improver and she's respected for yard that won this last year.

A three-time winner but below her best form the last twice and had no excuses from the front when only fourth in this new headgear combination at Southwell on Wednesday; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Won three times in autumn 2020 and is well handicapped on that form, but she's not the same force nowadays and has finished seventh since returned to hurdling in her last three runs; hood returns and conditions are no problem but she needs to raise her game.

Useful in the autumn of 2020 for Neil King, winning three mares' races, but winless on the Flat this year and well held on her return to hurdling at Cheltenham (100-1) three weeks ago; on the back burner for now.

OUR TIP

Form: 3-112P D

Last run: 28 days

W: 11st 5lb

6 yo Mare

OR: 109

Form & Verdict
Pulled up when switched to chasing on her return last month but this lightly raced 6yo has form figures of 223112 in novice/maiden events over hurdles; both her wins have come on good ground and she's open to more progress back in this sphere; interesting contender for in-form yard.

Scored twice early last term; best effort this season when 1l second off this mark in Class 4 mares' handicap at Warwick (2m, good) in May; likely player dropped in grade.

Two novice wins in May 2022 included one over C&D; badly out of form this year until bouncing back with close second at Warwick in May (2m, good; aids removed) behind a subsequent winner; live claims on that effort.
