6 yo Filly

OR: 82

Form & Verdict
Had a long absence after finishing second in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; well held in maiden/novice events and dropped away to be beaten about 8l when made favourite for handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft); that bumper run was on good ground which she's not encountered since; if that helps then she's a player.

Form & Verdict
Has ran out before and refused to race, and she didn't look all that keen to take part at Stratford last week but ended up running out the easy winner of a weak event (2m6f, good); the ability is there to defy a penalty but she comes with risks.

Form & Verdict
Now 0-17 over hurdles and his jumping was sketchy when fourth of five at Bangor (2m7f, heavy), though wasn't beaten far; sold for £7,000 since; has threatened in the past and perhaps a change of scenery can bring about a change of luck.

Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance.

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern.

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question.

Seven defeats under rules include three handicaps and he hasn't threatened in any of them (when runner-up two starts back he was beaten some 26l); didn't run too badly at Stratford last time in first-time cheekpieces and now goes in blinkers; has to improve, however.

Only his second win in 42 career starts when doing it easily last week at Ffos Las (2m4f, good), defying odds of 66-1; that was from out of the weights so only 3lb higher here with a penalty; whether he'll replicate the form is the glaring concern.
