Promise when placed in a brace of bumpers. Yet to translate that form to hurdles but took a step forward when third on Plumpton handicap debut and could do better again now upped further in trip.

Hinted at a revival at Musselburgh and duly confirmed the promise of that run when bolting up at Plumpton (25f) last month. Probably found race coming too soon under a penalty 6 days later.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR:  102| BF
Improved for the step up to 3m, winning a pair of Ludlow handicaps. Failed in her hat-trick bid when behind Tipalong Tyler at Doncaster, but retains potential back from a break.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Joshua Newman(7)| T: K Woollacott| OR:  100| D
Improved to resume winning ways at Doncaster in December. Shaped as if still in good form there 6 weeks later, but took little interest when pulled up at Warwick last time.

Took a step forward upped in trip for her handicap debut when clear second of 8 at Hexham (23.3f, soft) in September, but failed to repeat that effort after 6 months off at Huntingdon.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: Liam Harrison(7)| T: F O'Brien| OR:  86
Showed improved form upped in trip on handicap debut when fourth of 15 in 25d event at Huntingdon 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Better to come faced with more of a test.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien(3)| T: T Lacey| OR:  80
Showed much improved form to make her second handicap start a winning one at Southwell (24.3f) in August. That was a lowly affair, but she may do better still.

Poor handicap hurdler. Beaten upwards of 22 lengths on all 3 starts this term, including at Uttoxeter only 15 days ago. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Midnight Aurora (9/4), Dora De Janeiro (9/4), Forchena (10/3), La Reine Poutine (6/1), Ask The Lady (6/1), Belatrix Lestrange (7/1), Tipalong Tyler (8/1), Missthecuddles (14/1), Hija (25/1)

Verdict

ASK THE LADY has better to come faced with more of a test at the trip, so she gets the tentative vote. Midnight Aurora could bounce back for the Skeltons having possibly found the race coming too soon under a penalty at Huntingdon.
