Winless since 2019 but did run well on a couple of occasions last summer. Looks summed up by mark on return from 5-month break.

Ran third in a strong-looking event at Taunton on handicap debut in April before getting off the mark at Newton Abbot (18.5f) earlier this month. 5 lb rise is manageable and she's of serious interest again.

Remains a maiden over hurdles but has finished second on 7 occasions, coming from long way back to fill that position over C&D 23 days ago. May get a pace to aim at here and she can go well again.

From the family of Time For Rupert and looked more of a long-term prospect in novice hurdles. Didn't improve on handicap debut last time, though, and needs to show more here.

Showed a bit in novice hurdles and is likely better than she was able to show on handicap debut last time, racing keenly in rear. No surprise if she were able to improve here.

Forecasts

Sweet Nightingale (15/8), Eva's Diva (9/4), Timetoroe (9/2), Windy Cove (15/2), Time For Bell (10/1), Ilaya (10/1), Maria Magdalena (14/1)

Verdict

A decent mares' handicap, with SWEET NIGHTINGALE taken to improve again and follow up her recent Newton Abbot success. Perennial runner-up Eva's Diva has been in fine form of late and can fill the position again, whilst Timetoroe is preferred to Windy Cove for third.
