Form & Verdict
Below best the last twice, most recently failing to threaten in mares' Grade 2 at Doncaster; however, she has a good record here and showed strong form when runner-up in a C&D handicap (good to soft) in November; won on heavy ground last season and no surprise to see a big run now back here.

Stainsby Girl

11st 9lb

J: Mr Kit Alexander

T: N W Alexander

Doughty 9yo, usually ridden these days by Kit Alexander; front-running sort who was back to her best when second of ten at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; effective in the mud but not proven over quite this far and probably too exposed to see off all of today's younger rivals.

Form & Verdict
Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and heavy going is fine; her surplus stamina may be no bad thing on the ground but she's been soundly beaten the last twice; has to bounce back.

Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and was runner-up (beaten 12l) in another at Haydock the last time, which was a good run back at 2m3f (heavy); should give her running but others might be better in.

Opened chasing account at third attempt, making all in three-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) last month; the value of that form is open to question (odds-on favourite disappointed) but she's still on a workable mark if judged on hurdling form and still has low mileage.

Form & Verdict
Made it 4-6 over hurdles with comfortable handicap win on reappearance at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in November, and solid fourth in Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, soft) next time; this lightly raced 6yo could continue to improve and she's respected now up in grade.
