11/4
Four-time winner over hurdles in 2021 who opened chase account in a Warwick mares' novice (20f) in May. Not disgraced back in this sphere at Market Rasen in July and remains on a workable mark.

Made the frame on 3 of her 4 starts last term and should be sharper for recent course reappearance. Warrants respect.

Posted good second of 12 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Wexford (24f, good to soft) on final start for Paul Nolan in September. Still low mileage so worth a check in market on yard/handicap debut.

Forecasts

Eternally Yours (6/4), Charm Offensive (9/4), Could Be Trouble (11/4), Starlyte (5/1), Millarville (11/1), Dot Cotton (28/1)

Verdict

CHARM OFFENSIVE ended last season on the up and is clearly well suited by this course. She can make a winning return. Eternally Yours may provide the chief threat.
