Scored at Wetherby in November over 2m and not beaten far back there upped in trip on Boxing Day conceding weight all round. Winner scored again next time, likely to improve again.
Runner-up both starts in point-to-points, latest in November, could have a say on rules bow and worth a market check at any rate.
Winner of a Kilworth point-to-point who created a favourable impression on her debut. Ran as though something was troubling her last time during a quiet spell for the stable. Yard are having mixed fortunes but she probably still has plenty to find.
Flat maiden, shaped with some promise on first start over hurdles at Market Rasen (third of 12) over shorter trip. That was 480 days ago, market may steer expectations on belated return to the track.
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in a point-to-point in May, since joined this yard ahead of rules debut. Can go well in an open heat.
Finished tailed off on her debut at here in a bumper (good to soft) 13 months ago and then hampered and unseated on bend at Chepstow when 100/1 last time. Others preferred on jumping bow.
Well held in trio of bumpers so far, plenty improvement to find for the addition of obstacles and longer trip.
Five-race maiden, better effort last time at Market Rasen (2m½f, soft) on second start over hurdles, has to take another step in the right direction now upped in journey.
Brought down on jumping bow over this trip at Newbury in January and unable to get competitive dropped in trip next time at Towcester. Has work to do.
Won a Ludlow bumper before running well in much better company at Cheltenham last time in November. Makes her hurdling debut and is likely to get involved if taking to jumping.
Tailed off in Tipperary bumper sole previous outing under rules, also held in three point-to-points, has plenty to ponder ahead of first run for new trainer.
Promising efforts in two of three bumpers (disappointed in Aintree Grade 2), hasn't been sighted since February 2017, but remains one to be interested in now returning for first hurdles start.
Little to get excited about in three starts so far, two of them over hurdles. Well fended off at Market Rasen last month (2m½f, soft) and has ground to make up seemingly.
Ridden prominently in 2m5f Warwick novice hurdle on New Year's Eve in testing ground, unable to sustain effort and eventually pulled up. Point-to-point winner may go better on likely better surface.
Held up in Warwick bumper on New Year's Eve (Tennewrow pulled up) and stayed on into never-nearer fourth. Better ground possibly a plus, improvement could be coming on second hurdles start.
Pair of unpromising efforts over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) and Doncaster (2m½f, soft) either side of New Year. Big chunk of improvement is called for.
Forecasts
Schiaparannie (11/4), Presenting Pearl (7/2), Storm Patrol (6/1), Agent Memphis (8/1), Tikk Tock Boom (8/1), Ebonys Encore (14/1), Oksana (16/1), Folly Bergere (16/1), Tennewrow (20/1), Petronella Manners (50/1), Gortnagirl (50/1), No No Legend (100/1), Valdas Princess (100/1), Taras Day (100/1), Shazzamataz (150/1), Her Dream (250/1)
SCHIAPARANNIE was not disgraced behind a useful rival at Wetherby on Boxing Day (won since) and can likely give this a bold sight despite the weight concession with another step forward likely. Rules newcomer Agent Memphis has potential, while Presenting Pearl has done enough in bumpers to command attention now tackling hurdles. Tikk Tock Boom and Storm Patrol are worth noting in the betting.
