Belied market weakness to make a winning start in a Uttoxeter bumper in April. Looked a useful prospect when following up on Bangor hurdles bow 10 months later and sure to go on to better things.

Fairly useful bumper winner who stepped forward from her hurdling debut when 12¾ lengths third to Corey's Courage at Bangor last month, keeping on when mistake last. Likely to progress further.

Rail Link mare who showed fair form in bumpers back in 2018/19. Out of depth in Aintree Grade 2 final start that season and market best guide now going hurdling on the back of a long layoff.

Comfortably held in a brace of bumpers and it was a similar story on Ffos Las hurdles debut 11 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Showed fair form when runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but was well held on Lingfield hurdles debut in December, shaping as if in need of the run. Has since had a breathing operation.

Unpromising in points and offered little in a bumper at Exeter on Rules debut in April. Hood added on first start for new yard.

In good hands but looks one for the longer term judged on early evidence.

Sakhee mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including French hurdler/chaser Goldgig and fairly useful hurdler Santera. Dam unraced. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Corey's Courage (4/11), Billams Legacy (10/3), My Girl Lollipop (12/1), Call Blue (16/1), Briery Express (25/1), Rio Silva (40/1), Kobra (40/1), Toradora (66/1), Optical Girl (250/1), Shantou Boudicca (250/1)

Verdict

It wasn't a strong race COREY'S COURAGE won at Bangor, but she did it easily and looks sure to go on to better things. Billams Legacy can give her most to think about, ahead of the returning Briery Express.
