7/2
Made an excellent start to her hurdle career, comfortably landing the odds in 2m novices at Hereford and Huntingdon. A shade disappointing on Ludlow handicap debut last time but can bounce back.

A good sort physically who won both her starts at Newbury 8 months apart, namely a bumper and a mares' novice hurdle. Has had a wind op since and has scope for plenty of improvement.

Has won bumpers first time up the last 2 seasons. Made a successful start over hurdles at Fakenham (2m) and can improve, particularly if brushing up her jumping technique.

Runner-up to a useful one on the second of 2 outings in bumpers and overcame inexperience to go one better on Ludlow hurdle debut. Failed to match that form at Wincanton last time, though.

Signs of ability in bumpers at Taunton and Ludlow, but failed to improve on last month's Taunton hurdle debut, hanging right straight.

Shaped with some promise in a Doncaster bumper/course maiden hurdle, but ran poorly when pulled up at Sedgefield on final outing 11 months ago.

Modest form in bumpers/Tramore mares' maiden hurdle for Declan Queally. New yard having a good season and she could do better, but this is no easy task.

Forecasts

Martello Sky (6/4), Gran Luna (5/2), Marada (7/2), Shore Shanty (6/1), Petite Dame (14/1), Lily Glitters (40/1), Lulu Baloo (50/1), D'edge Of Glory (66/1), Miss Gold Den (100/1), Nans Gift (200/1), Moore Clouds (200/1)

Verdict

GRAN LUNA was not exactly impressive in landing the odds on her Newbury hurdle debut, but she's since had a wind operation and the likelihood is that she will leave that form well behind. Martello Sky made a winning start in this sphere at Fakenham and can improve, especially if brushing up on her jumping. Marada is also respected returning from a break, despite shouldering a double penalty.
