Turned things around when scoring at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April and she followed up under a penalty Taunton (2m, good); came up a bit short in hat-trick bid over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was another good effort and she still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted.

Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat.

Little Lady Lucy

J: Bradley Harris

T: Neil Mulholland

Showed little in three runs at around 2m4f this season before finally opening her account over hurdles at the 12th attempt, when a switch to front-running tactics and a drop in trip at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago brought about the decisive breakthrough; subsequent penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing if she can replicate the effort.

Pretty useful on the Flat at his best, superior to stablemate Ribba Hill; ridden out to win at Taunton (2m, good) after a break and the winner got away from him (he was beaten 12l) when he was penalised here over 2m4f; can be given another chance despite another 2lb, especially back in trip.

Pretty useful on the Flat at his best; didn't show much in first four hurdle runs but he really got his act together when landing a gamble in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last Tuesday; has a penalty but that was a convincing win and he's respected on this step back up in trip.

Modest in four Flat races (2023 and 2024) but, after a big layoff, no worthwhile form in three maiden hurdles this year; at least handicap hurdle debut should help and the market can guide again.
