Form & Verdict
Ridden in two of her three races by Chloe Emsley; maiden point winner (2m4f, heavy) in March 2020 and well beaten in a maiden hurdle that October; her only appearance since came when 50-1 second of nine in a mares' novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, good to soft) in December 2021, making most and rallying; that looked promising and gives her a major form chance but she's been absent for 709 days.

Front-running 10yo who has to defy the stats as only two veterans have landed this prize since its inception in 1981; however, has low mileage for her age and remains unbeaten over fences; bagged Listed honours, against her own sex, at Newbury/Exeter the last twice and is a rising force for Polly Gundry; gets the 7lb sex allowance and shouldn't be passed over lightly.

Won Irish mares' maiden point (3m, soft) in April on her second start; 16-1 for rules debut in a nine-runner mares' maiden hurdle at Stratford (2m6f, soft) early this month and won it by 3l, leading early on run-in; will stay beyond at least this far and has major claims despite the penalty.

T: Stuart Edmunds

Won at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last winter and she returned after nine months off with a near-miss at Warwick (3m1f, soft) in November; looks interesting on that form but she's not matched it in two runs since and needs to rediscover her spark.

Solid contender on the form of a Chepstow win (2m7f) last February and when narrowly failing to give weight to a subsequent winner at Warwick (3m1f, also on soft) in November; lacked the pace to play a part on good to soft there since but today's surface and lower grade will help.

Placed in two Irish points before winning one last November; sold for £55,000 that December but soundly beaten when making most in a Southwell bumper (good to soft) in March; now has her tongue tied; needs a big turnaround.

Well beaten in her three novice hurdles, the latest a Listed event at Newbury; however, this point winner has far more realistic claims now handicapping off a lowly mark and she's an interesting contender.

Form & Verdict
Well related; ran five times for Colm Murphy in Ireland, best efforts when placed in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) in April and Tramore (2m5f; made most) in June; not seen since a fall in July; unraced on worse than yielding ground; should stay; good chance if her better form is reproduced.

Back on track with last month's Huntingdon fourth (3m, good), but once again couldn't tease out her resources for long enough and the change of headgear looks worth a go; player if that works with mark never lower.

Out of an unraced half-sister to the stable's very smart hurdler Younevercall; won an Irish point in January and bought for £72,000 soon afterwards; 15-2 for 16-runner novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) one month ago and made most but she'd been headed when hampered and unseating before three out; now tongue tied; early days and she's worth a market check.

Made mistakes and was pulled up on chase/handicap debut last spring but put in good front-running shift when fifth on return to hurdling at Hereford (2m3f, good) in October; going further this time should be of benefit.
