wetherbyracing.co.uk Mares' Handicap Chase

Promising individual who found improvement when making a winning chase debut in 3-runner handicap at Warwick (20f, soft) in November but folded as if amiss at Fontwell (26f) next time. Returns to shorter trip now and cheekpieces applied for first time.

Three-time winner at around 3m over hurdles last season for Stuart Edmunds and better than ever in first-time cheekpieces on seasonal/yard debut when runner-up at Plumpton (20.5f) last month. Should go well again on first start over fences.

Was going the right way in handicap hurdles for Paul Nicholls when last seen, opening account at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in July 2021 and following up at the same C&D later in the month. Goes chasing for new yard and must be taken seriously, particularly if the market speaks in her favour.

Yet to score for current yard and went backwards from her reappearance effort at Plumpton 37 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Great Pretender mare who showed ability in brace of novice hurdles 8 months apart but failed to make an impact making handicap chase debut at Catterick (15.6f) last month, struggling 4 out and never a threat. Needs to step up to figure.

Off the mark over hurdles at Southwell in May and shaped encouragingly, on second start over fences, when fourth at same course in November. Confirmed that promise when scoring at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft) earlier this month and should have more to offer in this sphere.
