Last run: 249 days

W: 12st 0lb

7 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Won two chases and two hurdles last spring/summer; returns from 249-day absence on career-high mark and would probably prefer good ground but her Ffos Las success a year ago came on soft ground and when fresh.

Won four times last April-July (2m3f-2m7f, soft/good) and returned to form with close third of six at Fontwell (3m2f, good) three weeks ago; travelled well last time and could benefit from the drop back in trip.

jumped right on occasions, in touch with leaders, dropped to rear 6th, in touch with leaders with one circuit to go, went third going easily before 3 out, not fluent 2 out, pressed leaders approaching last, kept on run-in, no extra towards finish

7 yo Mare

OR: 100

Form & Verdict
0-5 when trained in Ireland and 0-4 for current stable but began chasing career with two respectable runs in small fields (2m4f/3mf) and may yet have a bigger performance in her over fences; seems to handle soft ground but is unraced on heavy.

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.

J: James Bowen

T: Neil Mulholland

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.

Form & Verdict
0-11 over fences but kept on well to take second behind a next-time-out winner at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month, and gave another decent account when second at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on Monday; good chance.

10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track.

Verdict

This is a quick reappearance after her Huntingdon second on Monday but RIVER TYNE is evidently in good nick, and she may cope better than her two rivals with the forecast heavy ground here. Dicey Rielly enjoyed a very productive spell last spring/summer but Hamartia is still unexposed over fences and may provide a bigger threat to the selection.[Chris Wilson]
