Fair hurdler has reached a similar level in pair of chase starts so far, very much bumping into a handicap blot when second of 5 at Fontwell (26f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Shortlist material.
|
Left John Groucott and returned to form to win 6-runner handicap chase at Southwell (25.8f, good to soft, 8/1) 21 days ago. That race somewhat fell apart, so she needs to improve further to defy 10 lb rise.
|
Runner-up 3 times over hurdles during the summer. Unsuited by way race developed on chase debut (several fences omitted due to low sun) and could prove capable of better here granted greater stamina test. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on.
|
Modest form at best in 4 starts over hurdles, failing to improve when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (23.4f, soft, 22/1) 47 days ago. More needed on chase debut.
|
Made winning debut for this yard in October 2021 but has been expensive to follow since, finishing tired when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft, 17/2) 44 days ago. Perhaps needed the run there and has dropped to workable mark.
|
One win from 5 starts in points but little show in a trio of maiden hurdles and looks opposable on chase debut up in trip/fitted with tongue tie.
|
Poor maiden chaser ran one of her better races when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 29 days ago but will surely need a couple of these to falter if she's to get off the mark.

Forecasts
Jessie Lightfoot (7/4), Bolintlea (5/2), Hey Frankie (5/1), The Toojumpa (13/2), Wildkatze (10/1), Redbridge Rosie (12/1), Country Kitten (40/1)
This looks a good opportunity for BOLINTLEA to improve upon her 2 placed efforts so far and get off the mark over fences. Hey Frankie is worth another go after making her chase debut in an unsatisfactory event, with Jessie Lightfoot a danger in spite of a 10 lb rise for winning a weak contest last time.
- Bolintlea5/2
- Hey Frankie5/1
