Zoe Davison Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Matched best form when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) 55 days ago, going with enthusiasm (second past the post but subsequently promoted). 4 lb higher now but should give another good account.

Modest maiden on Flat but going right way in handicaps over hurdles, making it 3 wins from 5 outings on reappearance at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in November. Limit may not yet have been reached.

Point winner who posted a good second of 12 in 2m Lingfield novice hurdle in November. Must be taken seriously now going into handicaps.

Failed to win on the Flat but completely different story over hurdles, landing hat-trick with an impressive display at Fontwell and would have likely gone in again had he not ran out at the second last at Wetherby on penultimate start. Not in quite same form latest but respected nonetheless.

Fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner who posted his best effort in this sphere when third of 14 in handicap at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Fair 1m winner on the level for Ed Dunlop who won a pair of C&D handicaps last year. Solid efforts first 2 starts this term but below par latest and others more appealing.

Has drawn a blank since his 2 wins in spring 2021 but he's been knocking firmly on the door of late, finishing runner-up 3 times. Nudged up another 2 lb but it's unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Scored twice in 2021 (including a novice hurdle at this meeting) but has failed to add to her tally since and recent efforts have lacked sparkle. Tongue strap on first time.
