Pulled up in an Ayr novice handicap last time (2m4f, heavy) having made a winning chase debut in a handicap over same C&D in December (soft); up in trip (has won a 3m point); plenty to find. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ended last season with two good-ground wins for Anthony Honeyball (2m3f/2m) but has suffered a worrying dip in form since; needs to have been perked up by switch to new stable (still in same ownership). |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Two chase wins in April, at Plumpton (19.5f, good) and Cheltenham (16.5f, good), but well below that level when fifth at Bangor last month and will do well to cope with these progressive rivals. |

18th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up in her first two chases (both last autumn) but returned from break with clearcut win at Plumpton (2m3f, good) last month and followed up off same mark at Cheltenham (2m, good) four days later; 7lb higher in deeper race today but must be considered in current mood. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has mixed record over fences since last autumn but was a respectable fifth in a much stronger race than this when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is another 3lb lower here; seems best suited by good/good to soft ground; big player. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; very mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation; risky. |

11st 13lb |
Ran okay over fences before returning to hurdles with the cheekpieces back on and going close in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (soft); another big run looks on the cards off just 2lb higher. |

19th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Off the mark over fences at 13th attempt, keeping on well to draw 12l clear over C&D (good to soft; first run after wind surgery) on New Year's Day; this race is much more competitive but she remains well handicapped on older form. |

1st Jan 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m6f trip and mark in her favour at Leicester latest, so 24l defeat was disappointing (Getaway Theatre pulled up); form of 11l C&D second before that likely not strong enough either; has had wind surgery. |

Won four times for Dan Skelton, the handicap off this mark; however, in poor form in the autumn and was sold for £2,000; best watched. |

4th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner; gave pretty good account when close sixth in big field at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July but was very disappointing favourite on latest outing and now sports cheekpieces. |
9/2 |
Verdict
In an interesting mares’ chase the suggestion is I AM GONNA BE, who came from a poor position for a creditable second in her seasonal/chase debut at Ayr last month. Aubis Walk, Somespring Special and Presenting Nelly (preferred in that order) all disappointed on their latest hurdling starts but remain good chasing prospects.[Chris Wilson]
