15th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Was the 1-8 favourite when winning a mares' maiden hurdle at Cork (2m1f, good to yielding) last year; behind Killinure Lass on return from a break at Galway in a handicap hurdle last time but should improve for the run; now makes chase debut for top yard and always dangerous to discount horses from this stable, but she does have plenty to prove. |

Short-price favourite when coming unstuck in a pair of bumpers and a maiden hurdle on first three starts, but ran well in defeat, not the case when poor in two starts hurdling in the interim; switches to chasing with a fair few questions to answer, but must show a fair bit at home and far too early to overlook. |

Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes. |
