Reserve; record of 3-4 in her first season (2023-24); good second in two of her three starts this term, latest at Ascot (2m3f); chance of going one better in this field partly depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

11st 0lb |
Big improver this season in winning three times, the latest over 2m3f here on good (handles softer); another good run last time in a Listed race at Warwick (2m5f, soft) and her form is right up there in this company; the nagging concern is that she was keen and didn't get home over 3m at Windsor two runs back, although the ground was soft. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Others have a lot more substance to their form but she impressed when winning three mares' novice hurdles in the autumn (2m3f-2m5f, good/good to soft; also effective on soft) and failed to settle when fading over 3m last time; retains potential now back down in trip and none of the form horses arrive with rock-solid credentials; interesting contender. |

Mainly in fair form this season and can be forgiven a below-par run on testing ground at Exeter last time; these conditions suit; each-way chance with cheekpieces back on. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat towards the end of 2025; 10l second of four at Carlisle 17 days ago on chase debut, showing she has some way to go before she's matching today's rivals over fences. |

Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat against fellow mares towards the end of 2025; receives 7lb from the males today and holds leading claims if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Four wins (2m/2m5f) over hurdles, the last one off 2lb higher; 0-8 since switched to fences but ran well at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently, pulling clear of the third; fighting chance. |
9/4 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last month and she continues to edge down the weights; however, she needs something extra today's if she's to break her chasing duck at the eighth attempt. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has slipped to 2lb below last winning hurdles mark but seems far from certain to take advantage, being a fairly exposed mare who has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6; faces some progressive opponents. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best. |

11st 11lb |
Runner-up in two of her three handicaps, most recently at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February; has won on good ground; this lightly raced 7yo could have more to offer and is one to consider. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden and novice winner who showed her best form when front-running second at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November on handicap debut; she followed that, however, with last of seven at Doncaster (2m3f) 15 days ago; new trip is plausible. |
5/1 |
Verdict
Easily most seems to hinge on whether DELLA CASA LUNGA can produce the same sort of form she showed to win a 3m handicap at Kempton eight days ago, which is not her only form of that standard. It’s pretty tight among the rest but with Georgi Girl second best on form, while the improving novice Dameofthecotswolds and the back-up-in-trip Aston Martini might prove best of the rest.[Richard Austen]
