Alan & Judy Speechley Memorial Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Limited impact in bumpers over the winter but offered has offered a bit more over hurdles and could step up further now switched to handicaps. Considered.

9/2, running creditably when brought down in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 59 days ago. Usually gives her running and can make her presence felt if the pace is solid.

Winless following 14 attempts on the Flat and while she got the job done over hurdles when taking a soft-ground Plumpton handicap in February. Subsequent efforts have lacked spark and might need this return from 5 months off.

Just modest form so far over hurdles and last couple of efforts have been underwhelming. Others make more appeal.

Showed ability in a bumper and, while he's yet to achieve much over hurdles, he's an interesting handicap debutant with a tongue strap on back from 8 months off.

Enjoyed a productive 2021, scoring over hurdles at Carlisle in March that year and recorded a quick double in this sphere during the summer. 4 lb rise for latest success fair enough but likely she'll need the run following 15 months off.

Still seeking first taste of success following 12 attempts in this sphere. Conversely, she's been pretty consistent and was beaten less than a length when third at Plumpton last time. Should be thereabouts again.

Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 28/1) 17 days ago. Arrives on the up and merits consideration in a thin race.
