Perfect start in this sphere when accounting for 11 rivals in a 2m Lingfield novice (2m) last month. That wasn't a strong race, however, and marked improvement will be needed if she's to be competitive under a penalty.

Fairly useful on the Flat, fifth of 21 in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last time. 0-6 in this sphere but a reproduction of her fine second in a Grade 2 mares' novice at the Cheltenham Festival in March would make her very hard to beat.

Uninspiring record between the flags and much the same in 2 starts over hurdles to date.

Beaten a long way on debut in a Warwick bumper last month.

€24,000 3-y-o. Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner in Italy by Arcano. In good hands and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Strong in the betting when making a successful start in a junior bumper at Hereford for Ralph Beckett last October. No show both subsequent starts for Paul Webber, though, including on hurdles debut last time. Sets out for new yard in a first-time tongue strap.

Showed ability on first 2 of her 4 starts in bumpers but hasn't shown enough in a couple of runs in this sphere to suggest she'll be winning this.

Never dangerous in 2 bumpers and looks more one for the longer term.

Fourth in a Chepstow bumper on Rules debut and stepped up on that when just touched off in a C&D maiden hurdle last month. Seems sure to progress.

€85,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in April but disappointed on her Stratford hurdle debut (reportedly suffered from post-race ataxia). Showed a bit more at Fontwell next time but she's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Third on her only start in Irish points and there were positives to glean from her Rules debut effort in a listed bumper at Cheltenham where she travelled well for a long way. Likely to have a future over hurdles.

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Fancy Foundations and bumper winner/fair 15f hurdle winner Puffin Bay. Sported a hood and looked rather headstrong when third on debut in a Southwell bumper but that was a promising start and she's a likely improver for top yard now sent hurdling.

No show in a couple of bumpers and she hasn't fared any better since switched to hurdles. Down in trip. Hooded for 1st time.

Ahorsewithnoname (2/5), Passionate Pursuit (11/2), Endless Escape (17/2), Dana's Gem (12/1), Roccstar Bay (14/1), Queens Fortune (18/1), Porter In The Park (25/1), Eel Pie Island (50/1), Konigin Isabella (80/1), Blue Anchor (80/1), Palmagreen (100/1), Trouville Lady (125/1), Bay Sam Bella (250/1)

Verdict

AHORSEWITHNONAME sets a lofty standard down in grade and is selected to make the most of a good opportunity. Passionate Pursuit shaped with plenty of promise when just touched off on her C&D hurdling debut last month and is the obvious choice for the forecast.
