Record of 6-16 over fences; broke her Listed duck in Doncaster contest (2m4f) most recently, taking advantage of odds-on Brides Hill's below-par show; chance of following up partly depends on whether that opponent, who beat her by 6l in this event last year, is back on song.

Midnight Mary

11st 5lb

J: Bryony Frost

T: Lucy Wadham

Likeable mare with a consistent profile but her only chase win came off a 12lb lower mark and she's gone up 5lb for performing above herself in the face of a stiff task in a Listed race for mares last time (2m4f; fine at 3m and on soft); possibly flattered by that and opposable off current mark.

OR: 132

Form & Verdict
Versatile mare who defied top weight in Ludlow handicap (2m) just before Christmas, taking chase record to 5-10 (3-4 in this sphere for current stable); has solid-looking claims with the return to 2m4f no issue.

She's 2-17 over hurdles as opposed to 7-27 over fences and is unraced in this sphere since November 2023; however, won twice over fences this season (3m1f/2m4f, good/good to soft) and will be a major player if transferring that form back to hurdles.

Bumper/hurdles winner; third in Listed races at Exeter (2m1f) and Doncaster (2m4f; improved form, just ahead of Pink Legend) when switched to chasing late last year; hampered by Pink Legend when unseating at Huntingdon on latest outing; going beyond 2m4f for the first time is worth a go but she needs three of these rivals to underperform in a major way.
