Off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers and was found a weak race when successful over hurdles at Newcastle 17 days ago. Much more to do under a penalty re-opposing The Player Queen.

Went with more verve fitted with cheekpieces when landing big-field 19.5f maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse a month ago. That form puts her right in the mix.

Successful only point run and made a winning start under Rules in a Cheltenham bumper in May. Changed hands for £140,000 and looked useful when an easy scorer on hurdles bow at Ayr for new yard.

Off 5 months before opening account in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham in October. Runner-up under a penalty back at that venue last time and she ought to remain competitive.

Held back by jumping on hurdles debut and then refused to race at Ayr, so best left alone.

Minor promise only in 4 runs and probably one for further down the line. Has had a wind op.

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in France. Off mark at fourth attempt for this yard when seeing off 2 rivals in novice chase here in March. Didn't show much on return and not as good over timber.

Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler (stays 27f) Beer Goggles. Hooded and shaped like a stayer in a Worcester bumper in 2019. Won a point the following March but off since.

Forecasts

Motown Maggie (9/4), The Player Queen (5/2), Flower Of Scotland (11/4), West End Lady (4/1), Fiadh (11/1), Etoile D'ecosse (66/1), Onestepatatime (125/1), Arcandy (200/1)

Verdict

THE PLAYER QUEEN maintained her unbeaten record in pretty effortless fashion at Ayr and, expected to leave the bare form of that well behind, she will take some stopping. Motown Maggie may offer most resistance.

  1. THE PLAYER QUEEN (IRE)
  2. MOTOWN MAGGIE (IRE)
  3. WEST END LADY (IRE)
