5 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Bumper form included a win at this venue (soft) and second in Listed grade at Sandown (heavy); won by 6l at Market Rasen (2m, good) switched to hurdles and should have more to offer; Finn Lambert's claim largely offsets the 7lb penalty; this mare is respected on first rules start against males.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 7653 reflect his steady progress, most recently third in C&D event (good) when switched to hurdles from the bumper sphere; pedigree suggests he'll take another step forward, being closely related to a multiple winner for his stable; one of the main players.
