Form & Verdict
Three Flat wins in Germany in 2023 and she showed some pretty useful form for Ed Dunlop at up to 1m2f last year; has joined a top yard for her hurdling career and has been found a winnable race for her debut in this code.

Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience.

Three Flat wins in Germany; up and down in Britain but was involved in two close finishes in 2024 (best RPR 87); 2-2 over hurdles for new yard, having it pretty much her own way at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) recently; Sir Galahad will provide much more of a test but it looks tight between them.

Form & Verdict
Disappointing the last twice and now 0-8 over hurdles; however, she ran well in November on her first two starts for this yard (good/yielding, including C&D) and holds leading claims if tapping back into that promise.

Came up short off revised mark last time when bidding to take her record for new stable to 4-4; may be somewhat assisted by Charlie Tucker's 7lb claim but has something to prove upped further in class.

Rampant since joining Rod Millman and she was 7lb well in when completing a July hat-trick at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; runs off her revised rating this time but this drop back in trip should be no bother and she needs to be taken very seriously.

5 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
Point winner (3m, soft) who was a fair sixth on bumper debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) last October; two lesser runs have followed, most recently when soundly beaten third of five on hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good), but she's with a good yard (trainer runs two); things may click at some stage.

J: Jack Power

Said to have drawn benefit from the application of cheekpieces when game C&D winner (16-1; Summergrounds a close fourth) five weeks ago; boasts a solid C&D record (1U31) so a 2lb rise in the handicap could be manageable; one of three for Russell & Scudamore.

2m4f maiden hurdle winner at Perth (good) just over a year ago and has held his form respectably in handicaps since without looking especially well treated; faded late on his only previous attempt at 3m under rules, though he was a point winner at the trip on soft ground and has place claims.
