All her recent form has come over fences with a win to her name in June at Newton Abbot off a mark of 100. Now switches back to hurdles with blinkers on for the first time; still lightly raced over hurdles and respected at these weights.
Makes her debut for this yard that have made a good start and done well with switchers from other stables. Her last two runs for her previous yard showed that she had ability and there come be more to come in her new surroundings.
May not look to have the same improvement as some of these but is a consistent type who should run her race. Still to win a race and only placed off this mark last time it may well be more of the same here.
This trip looked a shade too far last time out at Huntingdon and she would need to show more stamina to be of interest here. Her pure form in handicaps so far would be a worry and she looks beatable off this mark.
Returns to action after a break with her form so far not looking good enough to play a part in the finish. Struggled off a 6lb higher mark on her debut in this sphere and there are more solid options available.
A winner after a break at Huntingdon in October she got back to that sort of form last time out at the same track over slightly further than before. Not the most consistent performer though and a good run is often followed by a poor one.
Finished well held in three non-handicap events over hurdles so far and looks as though she is being brought along steadily with handicaps in mind. Has some useful winning relations in her pedigree over this trip and further and no surprise to see her form improve now.
A fall when running well in a mares' novice at Chepstow in April appears to have affected her confidence as she's made little/no show in four subsequent starts. A switch to handicaps last time didn't appear to work and best watched for now.
Her bumper/hurdles form so far hasn't really hinted that she is going to make a giant stride forward here. Goes into handicap company now off a lowly mark but finished well held last time and the first-time headgear will need to work the oracle here.
There does looks to be some hope when you look at her pedigree although the form that she has shown so far over hurdles doesn't amount to much. Now goes handicapping off a lowly mark and given the yard she is worth a check in the market.
Forecasts
Hurricane Rita (9/4), Cosmic Diamond (3/1), Prettylittlething (11/2), Appletree Lane (8/1), Oi Oi (8/1), Onehelluvatouch (14/1), Georgina Joy (14/1), Kikimora (14/1), Jaunty Clementine (20/1), Hollow Park (20/1)
Given her connections and her previous form Hurricane Rita is sure to be popular here but she has to show that she can cope with a higher mark here and PRETTYLITTLETHING may offer a little more value. She’s still unexposed as a hurdler and given her lower mark in this sphere she could be the one to side with here. Cosmic Diamond is capable of some decent form but this track isn’t sure to suit while OI Oiand Georgina Joy are a pair that are worth a market check given their connections and profiles.
