Signed off last term with fine second over 3m in the mud at Doncaster. Fair return at Ludlow but seemed as if amiss back at Doncaster last time (supported on both occasions).
|
Still a maiden but ran some good races in the mud last term, enough to suggest she has a race in her from this mark. Yard going better than it was when she made her reappearance (in cheekpieces), too.
|
Lightly raced since finishing second twice in class 4 handicap hurdles in 2018 but showed a bit more at Hereford (19.7f) last time and return to this longer trip will suit.
|
Might have needed last month's Plumpton return and went close behind handicap blot in similar event at Huntingdon in March. One to consider.
|
Progressing gradually at a low level (latest Uttoxeter form is good) and could do better again faced with more of an emphasis on stamina here.
|
Fair 2m Flat winner. Showed a bit more in this sphere at Southwell last time and has dropped further in the weights. Real stiffer test now.
|
Good record fresh and ended losing run on return at Ffos Las in the mud 3 weeks ago in first-time tongue tie. Not an obvious type to follow up away from there raised 7 lb.
|
Maiden. Well held in 2 handicap chases for this yard this term and work to do. Has had a wind op.
|
Hasn't scored since 2016 but has returned in decent heart, third in first-time cheekpieces over C&D under this rider 22 days ago. Place claims again.
|
Landed a gamble to make a winning chase debut at Worcester in May 2018. Seemingly hard to train since and has offered little both starts back over fences this season. Interesting jockey booking.
|
Maiden who did a bit better in C&D event last month but is hardly a solid betting proposition.
|
Maiden who managed to beat all bar a well-in one on belated hurdling debut here last month, though seen to good advantage from the front.

Forecasts
Misty Mai (4/1), Jennys Day (5/1), Georgian Firebird (6/1), Bitasweetsymphony (7/1), Emmas Dilemma (10/1), Chloe's Court (10/1), Evenstevens (10/1), Little Boy Boru (12/1), Taboo (12/1), Jaycols Star (14/1), Cropley (14/1), Looking For Carl (20/1)
CHLOE'S COURT has been a frustrating sort for backers, but there is clearly a race like this in her and with her yard in better form she is worth another chance. Bitasweetsymphony is getting in a verve and looks a big player up in trip. Little Boy Boru is also considered.
