Not shown much to date in three starts in bumpers, with her 'best' effort probably coming on debut in September 2016 when a well held fifth of eight to Irish Roe at this track. Makes her hurdles debut, upped in trip, at a reasonable level for a stable that are currently very much in form.

Horse silk
28/1
No joy in four starts in Point-to-Points, and was well beaten in a bumper at Kelso in May 2016 on her sole rules start so far. Returns from a lengthy absence for her hurdles debut with others much preferred.

Shown little ability in two starts over hurdles so far, including when pulled up over 2m4½f at Market Rasen in July 2016. Absent since.

13/2
16 race maiden who has made the frame on a few occasions, most notably at this track in September 2016 when 1¾L second to Ange Des Malberaux. Likely to encounter similar drying ground, and could return fresh from a three month break on her first start since racing on testing (unsuitable) ground at Newcastle in early January.

Started at triple figure odds in all three of her races over hurdles since February (mainly against her own sex). Has shown very little ability to date, but encounters drying ground for the first time.

22/1
Moderate placed form in Irish Point-to-Points, but seemingly regressed from her previous run at Hexham (2m soft) when upped to 2m3½f at Musselburgh late last month. Finished last of ten to Pot Committed, and needs to leave that effort well behind her.
Upped in trip for just her third career start (and her hurdles debut), having shaped as if this was needed when approximately 6L fourth of eight to Cockley Beck in a mares only bumper at this track last month. Worth considering on her hurdles debut in such a weak heat.

1/5
Smart stayer on the Flat who would have found 2m too sharp on her first two starts over hurdles. Ran the useful Finian's Oscar (1/16f) to 4½L at Exeter, before finding Lastbutnotleast way too good over 3m next time. A shade disappointing when beaten 16L by Whatduhavtoget on her latest start at Ludlow, but this is a golden opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles.

Forecasts

Taws (1/5), Stonebrigg Legend (11/2), Louloumills (13/2), Pineapple Crush (22/1), Dolly's Dot (28/1), Malpreedy (33/1), Angel's Envy (33/1), Fair Ask (50/1)

Verdict

This is TAWS race to lose, and in truth it will be bitterly disappointing for her connections if she decides to pass up a golden winning opportunity. Louloumills might well eventually find a very small race somewhere, whilst Stonebrigg Legend is unexposed and likely to appreciate this trip on her hurdles bow, but on all known form, they should merely be playing for places.
