Pulled up on Sedgefield hurdling debut last season, but in good form on the Flat subsequently, grabbing a share of the spoils at Ripon on final outing in September. Worth a look now back hurdling.

7/4
Kalanisi mare who was bought for £40,000 after winning in Irish points at the 3rd attempt in May 2019. Has clearly taken a while to make it to the track but begins hurdling career in an ordinary race.

£50,000 Robin Des Champs mare. Won sole start in Irish points and has shaped better than the bare result in a couple of bumpers. Tongue tie on for hurdle debut and of interest.

Badly in need of experience in a Ffos Las bumper but showed an aptitude for hurdling on the back of a wind op (tongue tied) when second at Bangor (2m) last month, albeit no match for winner.

Forecasts

Lady Tremaine (7/4), Sandaroc (9/4), Robin Des Theatre (11/4), Kitty's Cove (7/1), Maid Of Houxty (22/1), Cancan (40/1), Donna's Diva (150/1), Yorgunnabeamunky (150/1), Still A Spark (150/1), Nautical Miss (200/1), Monchique's Lass (300/1), Grey Tikkana (300/1)

Verdict

The may go to ROBIN DES THEATRE, who has more ability than she's shown in a couple of bumpers. Bangor-second Sandaroc and winning-pointer Lady Tremaine appear the main threats.

  1. ROBIN DES THEATRE (IRE)
  2. SANDAROC
  3. LADY TREMAINE (IRE)
