Beaten a long way again, but showed evident progression from first to second start when third of five over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m4f; good). This is slightly easier, but she still has a little bit to find to get involved.
0-7 and now starts out life for new yard after only being able to make the frame in a pair of runs over hurdles. Booking of champion jockey is a plus, and any positive market vibes should be noted.
Hurdles newcomer who posted clear career best last time when runner-up at Ludlow (2m; good). Given 129-day break since then, but should remain competitive and is of interest if building on the promise she has shown so far.
Makes seasonal return to action on hurdles debut, & should take plenty of beating. Placed underwhelming rules debut at Kelso (2m; good) firmly behind her when turning over odds-on favourite in decisive fashion in a Musselburgh (1m7f; good) bumper.
Took major backward step last time out when tailed off at Stratford (2m2f; good to soft). That came after highly encouraging runner-up effort behind a warm-favourite at Southwell (1m7f; good). Lots to prove at present and cannot be fancied.
Represents bang in-form trainer/jockey combo who do so well with French imports. Hard to have any faith in this one though, after she has shown next to nothing in two starts in France. Likely to face vastly different ground conditions. Best watched.
Drops back in trip/returns to maiden company after finishing well-beaten on handicap debut over slightly further here last week. Place claims at best if back to the form she showed when runner-up at Worcester (2m; good to soft) two starts ago.
0-6 on the flat and not improved as one would have expected since switched to handicaps. Yard going well at present, but she is likely to be in need of the experience on this hurdles debut.

Forecasts
Glorious Lady (2/1), Cotton End (4/1), Net Love (4/1), Artichoke Heart (13/2), Miss Brooklyn (7/1), Perfectly Honest (10/1), Fricka (14/1), Carpool (20/1), Lilypad (20/1)
Clearly, the one with the most potential in this field is GLORIOUS LADY who showed marked improvement from an underwhelming rules debut (when sent off 5-6f), to rout her opposition in taking fashion when a four-length scorer next time out. She represents a red-hot trainer/jockey combo and can make a successful hurdles debut. Cotton End is interesting on her British debut and should make the frame after showing enough over obstacles in Ireland, while the booking of Richard Johnson only strengthens her claims. Fricka is another hurdling newcomer in the field and should be able to prove best of the rest after showing a promising level of ability in bumpers.
