5/2
Building up a good strike rate over hurdles and continues to improve, albeit left with little to beat at Hereford (25.5f) last week. Good chance under penalty if coping with the marked drop in trip.

Fairly useful bumper scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 21.7f mares' maiden at Hereford. Good second under a penalty at Ffos Las (20f), but not sure drop in trip is what she's after.

9/4
Point and fairly useful bumper winner. Looked far more tractable back from a wind op when making all in C&D mares' maiden hurdle 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer.

10/1
Dual hurdles winner in France. Had been shaping up well in this sphere in the autumn and better effort on second go over fences latest. Been given a real chance in the weights.

Off the mark on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m) under this rider last month. Fair run in a Ffos Las mares' novice next time but hit with a 6 lb rise.

Forecasts

Credo (9/4), Bellatrixsa (5/2), Midnight Ginger (4/1), Jaunty Freyja (11/2), Marta Des Mottes (10/1), Good Look Charm (14/1)

Verdict

BELLATRIXSA drops back over a mile in distance but is improving plenty and it's easy to see her bossing her rivals from the front again. Credo made all in a C&D mares' maiden 3 weeks ago and could ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way. Marta des Mottes has been given a chance by the handicapper back over hurdles.
