Had looked to be on the downgrade but like so many from the yard, has bounced back when the sun starts to shine, and was an easy winner at Ffos Las last time out. 10lb rise for that win negated by excellent young rider. Trip no issue but best on good or slower.
Well placed to win a couple of maiden/novice hurdles last season, and not disgraced when moved into handicap company at Ludlow last October. Not seen since, so may need the run, and does have her quirks. Stays trip and ground fine, but yard a little quiet.
Dispelled any doubts about the suitability of staying trips with a solid second to Deja Bougg at Uttoxeter in May, and followed that up by winning here last time out (second a facile winner since). Up 3lb for that but yard a bit quiet at present, so others preferred.
Back over hurdles after a couple of falls over fences recently, and on a fair mark based on win at Hexham last October. Trip and quick ground both fine, but hard to know what to expect on return to hurdles and others hold stronger claims.
Stays well on quick ground, and likes this track (115312 her form here). Better known as a chaser and although no qualms about coming back to hurdles (or her mark) has no great record after a break. On that, others are preferred here.
Improving staying hurdler that easily won her two starts in May but gave the impression the handicapper might have caught up with her on her latest start, although drop back in trip there probably not ideal. Can't be discounted here, with likely conditions ideal.
Good winner at Fontwell in May, staying on very well (3m1f) to claim the prize and no disgrace in getting beaten by a well-handicapped sort at Southwell latest, first two pulling well clear. Up another 4lb but going the right way, and not out of this.
Demonstrated his inconsistency by finishing tailed off at Worcester in early June, only to bounce back here last time out (not totally unbacked despite big SP) when taking a lower grade handicap. Has never won followed up a win with another, so plenty to prove under a penalty here.
Forecasts
Awaywiththegreys (7/2), Katy P (4/1), Lillian (9/2), Amron Kali (11/2), Miss Serious (13/2), Beneficial Joe (15/2), Our Folly (8/1), Miss Mobot (20/1)
A few come here in good form and can be given chances. Amron Kali will appreciate this step back up in trip but it's possible the handicapper has her in his grip at present, and preference is for LILLIAN, on the upgrade, stays well and caught a bit of a tartar last time. She's got every chance of getting back to winning ways here. Awaywiththegreys may not want it too quick but that aside, should go well for an in-form yard.
