Downpatrick handicap debut over the summer (tongue tie/cheekpieces) mildly encouraging but two efforts since don't inspire confidence. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but not since February 2023; hinted at possible return to form when third at Carlisle (3m1f, good) in April but didn't build on that performance last time; not the percentage call. |

On long losing run but she showed signs of a revival when third of six at Carlisle (3m1f, good) last month; 4lb out of the weights this time but she could get involved if she can build on that last run. |

16th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
She's 2lb out of the handicap and was no match for the easy winner at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last time; however, she won over 2m7f at Hexham (good to soft) in May and is an each-way possible now back up in trip. |

26-race maiden; ran well for a long way at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last month but ended up about 21l behind Ballydangan and is effectively 2lb higher here. |

0-24 under all codes and not very reliable but gave very good account when fourth from out of the weights at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower from correct mark here; had excuse when pulled up last time (stirrup snapped); not ruled out. |

28th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
12yo who has been unable to threaten this season but has been in fair form of late, finishing fourth to Kinder Kid over C&D (soft) last Tuesday from 3lb out of the handicap (same today); each-way possibilities. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in recent weeks (3m3f/3m1f) and is effectively 1lb lower today but was no match for the easy winner on either occasion and younger rivals in this line-up appeal more. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Five-time hurdle winner; gave good account when second of four at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) nine days ago but was no match for the winner (who was 0-26 over hurdles beforehand) and is out of the weights again here; younger rivals are much more appealing. |

Won over C&D on New Year's Day in 2022 but it's been a long time since he's shown any worthwhile form. |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) for Sue Smith last January but he was out of sorts in final five runs for that yard and was pulled up at Kelso on his comeback last month; overall record now stands at 1-20 and he has plenty to prove from out of the weights. |
40/1 |
Verdict
The suggestion is WOTSMYNAME, who brings a very strong piece of Ayr chase form back to hurdling. Millie Of Mayo (second choice) is respected in the retained cheekpieces, while September Daisy has possibilities back up in distance. Irish challengers Spice Diva, I’m For Home and Our Jervis add interest.[Steve Boow]
