8 yo Mare

OR: 127

Form & Verdict
Likeable mare with a strike-rate of 6-11; jumped well in the main when scoring on her chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in November and she was a good second in a mares' Listed event at Wincanton last month; looks open to more progress in this sphere and she's a big player back in a handicap.

Record of 12113 switched to fences last term, including Irish Listed win (2m6f, soft); seemed to run very well, improving nearly a stone, in Grade 2 at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on final outing; big player provided she backs up that form and stays this trip (second 3m attempt).

8 yo Mare

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
Record of 4-5 over hurdles and her only defeat in that sphere came when a creditable seventh in Grade 2 Mares' Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival; had tough task on her chase debut at Exeter (Listed event) in November but she was well held again at the same track (2m1f, soft) last month; now goes handicapping with cheekpieces added but she needs to raise her game.

Disappointing favourite returned to chasing last time, extending her losing run; nicely treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

8 yo Mare

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Placed in two bumpers in 2022; shaped with some promise in first two hurdle runs but she found major improvement when justifying support in a novice here (2m6f, heavy) last month; has more to do on this switch to fences but that was a convincing win last time and she's a sister to a useful chaser; respected.

Failed to offer much in two chase runs last season and again struggled back over hurdles; steadied the ship when back over fences at Haydock (3m1f, soft) but not many completed and her jumping became iffy in the closing stages; others preferred.

T: Venetia Williams

Failed to shine on her two chase starts last season and pulled up on reappearance over hurdles; however, this lightly raced 8yo looked good when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) last December and she may be the latest Venetia Williams runner to excel on testing ground at Haydock.
