Placed twice in Irish points in 2020 and proved a totally different proposition from her Rules debut when second at Huntingdon (20.7f, heavy) in February. Repeated that effort with the run of the race when third at Sedgefield subsequently and may do better now switching to a handicap up in trip.
|
Looks a stable lesser light on early evidence but wasn't entirely disgraced behind a winning stablemate on his Warwick handicap debut (21f) 25 days ago and is 4 lb lower now.
|
Fair ex-French maiden hurdler. No impact either start (hurdle/chase) on these shores, but is not one to write off on the pick of his French form.
|
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, broke blood vessel when pulled up in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft, 16/1) 22 days ago. Back over hurdles now in a first-time hood and has enough to prove.
|
Much improved when second of 16 in Newcastle handicap (22f) in early February. Not in same form at Fontwell 6 days later but possibly found the race coming too soon. Cheekpieces on.
|
Long-standing maiden who was well backed down in grade but merely extended losing run when third in Fakenham claimer 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
|
Ran best race when third at Hereford (21.7f) in February but failed to repeat that effort over C&D last time. Needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.
|
Poor in bumpers and little worthwhile form over hurdles. Step up in trip and first-time blinkers need to prompt improvement.
|
Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. Has shown nothing over fences, including in first-time cheekpieces and from 47 lb out of handicap last time, and now back over hurdles.
|
Lightly raced and shown little in the way of ability. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut.

Forecasts
Go Sacre Go (5/2), Kotki (7/2), Doyens De Ante (4/1), Bolsover Bill (13/2), Mad About Sally (10/1), Vanderbilt (11/1), Geordie Washington (16/1), Menapian (22/1), Toad Of Toad Hall (28/1), Millie's Flying (250/1)
KOTKI has yet to make an impact in Britain, but he's worth another chance back over hurdles judged on the pick of his form in France. Mad About Sally and Go Sacre Go are less exposed than the rest so are feared most.
- Kotki7/2
- Mad About Sally10/1
- Go Sacre Go5/2
