Summer Meeting 23rd August Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Dual bumper winner who overcame a pace bias to make second hurdle start a winning one at Ffos Las (15.8f) in May. Not disgraced in Uttoxeter follow-up bid since and must enter calculations on switch to handicapping.

Returning from 4 months off when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Entitled to build on that but is still looking for her first success.

Bumper winner who showed improved form to open account over hurdles in a mares' maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f) in May. Below that level sent chasing since, however, and others look better treated.

Positive start for Donald McCain, winning here in May (16.7f) and runner-up 3 times since, going close at Cartmel (17.2f, good) 30 days ago. Raised 2 lb but should give another good account.

Modest Flat winner who hasn't cut much ice as a hurdler to date and offered little on return from lengthy absence at Worcester last month. Tries longer trip now.

Respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f) latest but more needed to take a hand in finish here. 2 lb out of the weights.

Successful between the flags in October and the application of a tongue tie has brought about improvement in this sphere, latest when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft, 9/4) 25 days ago. 3 lb out of the weights but merits consideration.
