Join The Bet Club At Vickers.Bet Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Fair hurdler who resumed winning ways in a handicap at Hexham in March 2021. Ran only respectably up in trip at Kelso the following month and has been absence since then. Market best guide to expectations on return.

Built on her stable debut when landing 4-runner maiden hurdle here (19.8f, soft) 52 days ago, edging ahead dying strides. Her mark looks fair back in handicap company on that evidence and handy conditional also takes over in the saddle. Leading claims.

Fairly useful Flat performer who deservedly opened her account over hurdles in a Newcastle handicap (16.2f) last season. However, not in same form at Musselburgh on final hurdle outing and ran no sort of race back on the level at Redcar in October.

Made a successful debut over hurdles in a race that fell apart at Huntingdon in May. Hasn't yet built on that, though wasn't disgraced after 5 months off on just her second handicap start when third at Leicester (15.5f) 43 days ago. Merits consideration.

Won a mares' maiden last season and has returned from 9 months off with a pair of respectable efforts. Eased a further 2 lb and likely to be competitive.

Twice a winner on the Flat in the autumn and wasn't overly knocked about returned to this sphere (first run over hurdles for the best part of 2 years) in a 20.3f novice at Newcastle in November. Drop back in trip should help and opening mark looks fair.

Failed to improve after 9 weeks off when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, heavy, 28/1) 15 days ago. More needed.

Returned from a break in fine form, completing a hat-trick at Market Rasen in September, and has run well in defeat on her completed starts since. Should remain competitive.
