Cost £140,000 at the sales soon after winning a soft-ground Irish point by just under 3l in October; the form looks nothing to shout about but she should have a future under rules.

Reflection Of You

10st 10lb

J: Conner McCann

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Had jumping issues during her chase spell and proved suited by the return to hurdles in C&D contest (good to soft) last time, just holding on from Lizzie Luna who might have won but for coming off a true line; may remain competitive.

J: Alan Doyle

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Low-mileage 6yo who might well have made a winning chase debut here (2m4f, good) in May, had she not clouted the last two fences; again made jumping errors when well behind Heaven Smart over that trip last month but can pose a potent threat if she gets into a better rhythm today.

0-5 over hurdles but made promising start to chasing career when third over C&D (good) in May; might well have won that race had she not clouted the last two fences, and commands respect off the same mark today.

9-1 and prevailed narrowly from a Lucinda Russell-trained odds-on favourite at Sedgefield (good to soft); there was a subsequent winner in third and the fourth has run well since; should feature despite the penalty.

Having attracted market support she was tailed off on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, soft) last month, following a long absence; needs to prove how much ability she retains but this bumper winner failed to settle last time and shaped as though she needed the run; no surprise to see a good performance.

Won on debut in bumper at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in December 2023 and runner-up at Musselburgh (2m1f, soft) in April 2024; makes hurdle debut after a long layoff but trainer can ready one after an absence and she'll be an interesting contender if she retains her previous promise.

Has about 10l to find with Reflection Of You on a previous point clash but she has finished runner-up since and is now with Emmet Mullins who fits a hood; could well be an improver.

Formerly with Emmet Mullins; 0-4 for current yard and hasn't been that involved in those races, all handicaps at up to 2m3f; this longer trip may help with her pointing background.

Unexposed 6yo who showed significant ability in points/bumpers when based in Ireland; safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m1f) but may still have potential; watch the betting.
