Better than ever this season, recording back-to-back 2m handicap victories at Wetherby to end 2020, and acquitted himself well in a stronger race when third at Kempton last time. Can go well again.

Fairly useful handicap hurdler who was brought down at the fifth in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Leopardstown 20 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Market should be useful.

Won first 2 hurdle starts, namely novice at Warwick and introductory event at Wetherby on return. Shaped encouragingly upped in trip on Exeter handicap bow since and may still have more to offer.

Improved when making a winning handicap debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in February. Well held in similar events this season, shaping as if amiss, but may have benefited from a wind operation/break.

Scored at Hexham in November and returned to a similar level when third of 7 in 2m handicap at Catterick over Christmas period. Mark looks fair.

Fairly useful chaser/hurdler but hasn't been at her best the last twice, including back over fences last time. Bit to prove at present.

Forecasts

Hooligan (5/4), Stainsby Girl (16/5), Forest Bihan (4/1), Fransham (9/2), Ask Himself (15/2), Northern Beau (14/1), Bon Retour (16/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on STAINSBY GIRL, a likeable mare who looks on a fair mark on the pick of her form. The unexposed Hooligan is next on the list ahead of Fransham.

  1. STAINSBY GIRL
  2. HOOLIGAN (IRE)
