11st 7lb |
Pick of her beaten handicap form rates a step up on that shown when victorious in a Doncaster novice previously (16.5f, good to soft), though can't say she's anything much in hand of her mark now. |

Improved to win at Doncaster (2m. good to soft) in January; stepped up on that when second on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, soft); fell at Chepstow only eight days ago but considered on the earlier form. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Safely held on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) but that came after a 489-day absence and she's well handicapped on old hurdling form; no surprise if she gets closer to the target today. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper (AW) and maiden hurdle winner for Alan King but she didn't progress; wore a tongue-tie when fair fifth on debut for this yard in November 2024 and she built on that in added cheekpieces when close second of four at Newcastle (also about 2m4f, good) a fortnight later; makes chase debut after 489 days away with the market likely to offer some clues. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Slightly disappointing at Southwell 12 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but her close third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) was a pretty good effort and she has possibilities here if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m5f. |
6/1 |

Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit when reaching the frame on her last two starts, latterly third of eight over 2m4f at Newcastle (good to soft) four weeks ago. |

Back on track with last month's Huntingdon fourth (3m, good), but once again couldn't tease out her resources for long enough and the change of headgear looks worth a go; player if that works with mark never lower. |

Twice runner-up over fences in May, including over C&D, but she turned in a below-par seventh back hurdling at Worcester (2m7f) last month; she needs to bounce back. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Bumper winner who was third in a Doncaster novice before probably failing to give her true running on handicap debut at Hereford; could bounce back in new headgear; seems to enjoy good ground. |

13th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Lightly raced since winning good-ground bumper on debut in 2022 but seemed to be getting her act together over hurdles when keeping-on third in Doncaster novice (2m, good to soft) in January; upped in trip for today's handicap debut and open to significant further progress. |

Triple hurdle winner, who ended last year with a second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) but she's been out of sorts in her two runs (pulled up/tailed off) this spring; new headgear is now tried and she needs a major revival back in trip. |

Lilting Verse, Midnight Shuffle
Verdict
Nicky Henderson won this with a handicap debutante 12 months ago and he can repeat the trick with LIGHTFOOT LADY (nap) who appears to be improving. Lilting Verse ran a bit better last time at Ludlow than her losing margin may suggest and she’s second choice with Tom Broughton taking off a handy 7lb. Sammy’s Guarantee can improve for today’s trip.[Alistair Jones]
