Form & Verdict
1m2f good-ground Flat winner who was a promising second behind a subsequent winner on her hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) last month, and she appeared to have got the better of Matwana when falling at the final flight over C&D (good to soft) last time; leading claims granted a clear round.

Won Flat maiden in Ireland in September and has taken very well to hurdling for new stable, despite a tendency to race too freely; justified favouritism in fillies' Listed race at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January and could have more to offer if subsequent wind op has made a difference.

Form & Verdict
Belfrina looked to have her measure when that rival fell at the final flight over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago, leaving this filly clear; however, that was still a good run and she could be in the mix today; fair Listed fourth at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago in a hotter race than this.

Form & Verdict
1-6 over hurdles and has her limitations, but she was running well when falling three out in a Listed fillies' race at Newbury (2m, soft) in November, and was a respectable third against older fillies and mares in a handicap at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) last time; possible player.

Sole defeat in her last four races came at the hands of a progressive horse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); shrugged aside that minor blip with a workmanlike win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); 3lb rise isn't the end of the world.

The hat-trick bid came up shy at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft; after two months off) but only went up 2lb despite finishing well clear of the third, and behind a progressive winner; considered.

Bids for a hat-trick, having made all in mares' contests over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) and Aintree (good to soft) in December, taking record to 3-8; upped in grade and goes back against males but is a progressive contender.

Her new stable does well with juvenile hurdlers and she's one to watch in the betting on her jumps debut, but she was modest on the Flat and faces a tough task here; sold out of Sean Woods's yard for 8,000gns.
