J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Irish point winner who built on her early hurdling promise with a comfortable defeat of a subsequent winner at Haydock (1m7f, good; 1-4); she was entitled to win that and she's entitled to win this, even with a penalty.

Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat for Jack Channon up to autumn 2024; however, her form went the wrong way last year and she was sold for 10,000gns in December; needs to turn things around on this hurdle/stable debut

Placed in two maiden hurdles in the spring and ought to cope with the forcast heavy ground here but made low-key return to the Flat at Haydock (11.6f, heavy) this month and needs that outing to have brought her on.

A fairly useful 1m4f scorer for Jack Channon in 2024; twice placed over hurdles this season for her new stable here and at Fontwell so needs considering back on the Flat.

Useful over middle distances on the Flat (five wins) and made promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; that run came after a layoff and she'll be dangerous if it brought her on.

Very modest on the Flat nowadays and tailed off last month on her first two hurdle starts; a transformation is needed.

A fair 11f Flat winner but she was hooded when a well-held fifth on her yard/hurdling debut in 2m Doncaster maiden 15 days ago; in good hands though so not written off.

A fair 1m3f Flat winner but she ended her time with Tony Forbes below par last autumn; starts out over hurdles now for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard so can't be discounted; hood (tried once in 2023) is refitted.
