188Bet Extra Places At Cheltenham Friday Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Made the frame over hurdles in France. Quiet British/stable debut here over 2m2½f (soft) last month. Pedigree suggests that she is well worth a try over this longer trip and a market check is advised.

Won here over 2m4½f last season from just 1lb lower. Has occasionally threatened a return to that form since and came closest to doing so when 5L second over C&D last time. If in the same mood, then she looks a leading contender.

Posted a career best when a narrow winner at Leicester (2m4½f, soft) in December from 5lb lower. Has not been as effective in better company when 1lb higher on her last two starts, but not ruled out with winning 3lb claimer up.

Switches back to hurdles 1lb higher than when a 9L third in this race last year. That came on the back of a Catteriick chase win and she looked likely to repeat the feat last time before running out at the last. Has the ability to have a big say.

Won a mares' bumper on debut at Sedgefield (soft) two years ago and has been given time to find her feet over hurdles. Best effort since was last time at Wetherby when a 22L third of four. Headgear may help eek out more improvement.

1-14 so far. Conditions suit her, though she was well beaten from this mark last time and also from lower marks on her two previous runs. Others preferred.

Sole success for her was in a similar race at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, heavy) in November, when 5lb lower. Bettered that from today's mark next time and if she could reproduce that then she would have a squeak.

Won a Uttoxeter novices' hurdle in July (2m, good) and best effort in a handicap so far came back over that C&D when runner-up in September. Below that level in three runs since. 2lb drop a help and if headgear is positive he could be in the mix.

Won this race last year (soft) from 3lb lower. Came closest to matching that effort when back here over fences last month. Held from this mark at Wetherby in December and may be playing for places this time around.
