Bumper winner on her debut at Worcester just over a year ago but failed to progress on two subsequent starts. Now switches to hurdles but needs to get back to her winning bumper form on her hurdles debut.
Bumper form showed that she had ability (excelled in a Grade 2 in her last start in that sphere). Again there was promise on her hurdling debut (Seelateralligator in third) but it did look as though she needed further.
Sandwiched between Seelateralligator and Monar Rose on her hurdling debut at Warwick where she made a lot of the running (just did too much; pulled hard). Looks likely to improve although has work to with Seelateralligator.
Beat a three of these home when third on her hurdles debut at Warwick showing ability (less aggressively ridden than when winning her bumper). Looks likely to progress on her second start over hurdles and confirm the form from Warwick.
Work to do with three rivals here that she finished behind on her Warwick debut. Hood that she wore on her debut is retained but she remains a long term project.
Forecasts
Seelateralligator (10/11), Monar Rose (7/2), Glanvilles Guest (5/1), Nampararoo (6/1), Simply Business (33/1), Mac Bella (33/1)
Four of these contested a race at Warwick last time out with SEELATERALLIGATOR coming out the best and with the Skelton team in good form and farming plenty of weak races at the moment she’s taken to confirm that form. Nampararoo wasn’t far behind on that occasion and may get a little closer here while there could be improvement to come from Mac Bella and Monar Rose.
