Fair up to 1¼m on Flat. Showed an aptitude for hurdling towards the end of 2018 but has an absence of over 2 years to overcome. Tongue tie added. Best watched unless backed.
|
Landed a gamble in a weak event at Southwell last season. Hasn't made a meaningful impact in 3 subsequent starts in this sphere but worth keeping an eye on in betting back from break.
|
Runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts between the flags but has yet to better modest form under Rules, jumping none too fluently when third of 12 on her Market Rasen handicap debut (20.6f) last month.
|
Very weak in betting and yet to hit form in two runs over 20f this term. Landed division of this contest 12 months ago however, so well worth considering now back in trip off reduced mark.
|
Landed a point in November, but ran poorly on her first start for a new yard when well beaten in a 25f Carlisle maiden hurdle last month. Significantly down in trip.
|
Hasn't been seeing her races out at up to 2¾m but better signs back down in trip when fifth of 13 at Leicester (15.5f) last time. May do better still in first-time cheekpieces so not taken lightly.
|
All the better for return when resuming winning in handicap chase at Bangor (17.3f) in October. Just as good when second there 11 weeks later and should give another good account now back hurdling.
|
Bounced back to her best on her second handicap start when runner-up over 2m at Ayr in October. Similar form at Uttoxeter but found good run coming to a halt tongue tied at Leicester last time.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 12 in 20f handicap at Sedgefield 58 days ago, losing third close home. May prove best around 2m for time being and remains capable of better.
|
Looked in control when falling 2 out on hurdling debut at Worcester in July 2019 but never went on from that. Returns for new stable after 11 months off and looks best watched.
|
Caused a surprise on first run for this yard when 80/1 winner of 2m Hexham handicap and has remained in form since, typically travelling well when fourth of 14 at Musselburgh 9 days ago.
|
Fair 14f Flat winner who hasn't cut much ice over hurdles and fell at the second on chasing debut here 34 days ago. Quickly returned to this sphere.
|
Free-goer without a win since 2018 but ran well back at this trip when third of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield 68 days ago, responding well. Clearly on a workable mark and should remain competitive.
|
Runner-up sole start in points, but has yet to show any worthwhile form under Rules, weakening when unseating her rider 2 out at Southwell last time.
|
Found the test inadequate at Musselburgh (15,6f) last time, so is worth taking on kept to this trip on another sharp track.
|
Looks of little account at this stage.

Forecasts
Fleur Du Seuil (5/1), Let's Sway (6/1), Pellady (7/1), Miss Amelia (7/1), Drumochter (8/1), Evita Du Mesnil (12/1), Gallopongray (12/1), Burrows Diamond (12/1), Leeswood Lily (12/1), Russian Royale (14/1), Camile (14/1), Charlottes Way (16/1), Pepper Street (20/1), Summer Lightening (25/1), Malina Ocarina (25/1), Tooyou (33/1)
The Sue Smith stable is not exactly firing on all cylinders at present but BURROWS DIAMOND has shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on her last two starts and could be the answer dropping in trip here. Last year's winner, Summer Lightening, must enter calculations off a reduced mark, with Fleur du Seuil and Let's Sway others to consider.
