6/5
Fair form in bumpers and left previous hurdling efforts behind to land a plunge in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen recently, making all comfortably. She's a definite player.

10/11
Bumper winner who made the ideal start to hurdling when easing clear to score with loads in hand in a novice at Southwell recently. Well capable of following up.

Improved on previous efforts over hurdles when fourth of 11 to Miss Farage in a novice at Southwell recently but hard to see how she'll reverse the form.

Runner-up both starts in bumpers last summer but yet to match that level over hurdles. Probably more of a handicap type.
Timeform
Bred to do well over obstacles but not enough encouragement in bumpers to make her of any interest having her first go over hurdles.

No sign of ability in a bumper/novice hurdle for Margaret Mullins. Hard to fancy having been picked up cheaply by new connections.

Little to shout about on 3 of her 4 starts in bumpers and pulled up in a novice at Ludlow on hurdling bow 7 months ago.

15/2
Modest maiden on Flat but showed fair form over hurdles when runner-up in 2 juveniles at Clairefontaine in 2019/20. A bit disappointing in Britain so far, though.

Forecasts

Miss Farage (10/11), Bit On The Side (6/5), Stamina Chope (15/2), Ballymilan (28/1), Belatrix Lestrange (28/1), Crossfirehurricane (80/1), Secret Court (100/1), Sleptwithmebootson (200/1), Rann Of Kutch (250/1)

Verdict

This is probably between MISS FARAGE and Bit On The Side, who were both impressive winners last time, but the first-named has more potential and is taken to prevail. Stamina Chope could make a race of it with them if she can recapture the sort of form she was showing in France.

  1. MISS FARAGE (IRE)
  2. BIT ON THE SIDE (IRE)
  3. STAMINA CHOPE (FR)
