Beaten a head in a bumper at Taunton in March last year and although not really progressing from that, offered something on hurdles debut so has some ability if it can be drawn out.
Tailed off in a bumper, then on hurdling debut at big prices in the spring and needs to show a good deal more before becoming of interest.
Sent off just 3/1 for bumper debut in March 2019 but ran poorly. Showed modicum of ability on hurdles debut last autumn but more needed though presumably thought capable of better.
Showed very little in four bumpers to date at huge odds and needs this switch to hurdles to transform her.
Won a 1m4f handicap on soft ground at Thirsk last summer following a break so has to be taken seriously on this switch to hurdles and won't mind if the rain gets into the ground. Clearly can go well fresh which is also a plus.
Only hint at ability was in a slowly run bumper but tailed off at 66/1 in a seller last time so not hard to look elsewhere.
Pulled up on both starts over hurdles on heavy ground at wildly different trips and needs the first time hood to transform her.
Won a 1m3f bumper in France and was sent off just 6/4 on first run for these connections on hurdles debut at Wetherby in November. Broke blood vessel having raced keenly and interesting returning with a hood tried. Clearly better than shown there.
Dual winner on the Flat when with David Evans at up to 1m2f (rated 73 in that sphere). Recent run for this yard to sharpen her up and of some interest now trying hurdles for the first time.
No sign of ability to date in pair of bumpers and a hurdle and very hard to be positive about on evidence to date.
Placed in two soft ground hurdles when trained in France and her second to Arbarok in October reads well here. Sold for €21,000 gns since and now makes debut for good yard so makes plenty of appeal on paper.
Forecasts
Stamina Chope (1/1), Gaot (10/3), Lady Reset (4/1), Czech Her Out (8/1), Joie De Vivre (16/1), Figarella Borget (28/1), Ivy's Shadow (66/1), Enchant Me (66/1), Mossy Glen (100/1), Lucky Purchase (200/1), Seb's Sister (250/1)
Certainly a stronger looking contest that the first division. The market should prove fascinating regarding Gaot who broke a blood vessel on British debut at Wetherby, and STAMINA CHOPE with narrow preference for the latter. Joie De Vivre brings ability off the Flat and will be a threat if translating that ability to this sphere.
- Stamina Chope
- Gaot
- Joie De Vivre
