Fairly useful in bumpers last season and made perfect start over hurdles at Ludlow in November. Showed better form in defeat when third (She's A Saint second) to the exciting Luccia in listed company at Newbury later that month and may do better still.

5/6
Winner of her sole start in Irish points and made a striking impression on her hurdling debut when a wide-margin scorer of a 6-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f). Runner-up all 3 starts since, including in Taunton listed event last time and sets a good standard.

Well held in Cheltenham bumper/completed start over hurdles.

Has shaped with clear promise on all 3 starts to date but it will be handicaps over further when she really comes into her own.

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. Safely held on Wincanton hurdle debut but entitled to do better with that under her belt.

Aizavoski mare. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 29f) General Principle. Made frame all completed starts in Irish points, runner-up last time (Dec 11). This trip could be on the sharp side.

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 17f), best effort when second last time. Subsequently sold from Jedd O'Keeffe for 78,000 gns. Well worth a look on hurdle debut.

14/1
Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Perry Owens. Fairly useful on Flat for William Haggas (stays 1¾m), winner twice in 2022. Interesting recruit to hurdling.

Forecasts

She's A Saint (5/6), Poetic Music (7/4), Manimole (9/1), Nikhi (12/1), Qoya (14/1), Queens Fortune (66/1), Stopherandgo (100/1), Libertarian Royale (300/1)

Verdict

SHE'S A SAINT sets a good standard back down in grade so she has to be considered the one to beat. Poetic Music has a bit to find with the selection but may improve again, while Qoya and Nikhi are a couple of interesting hurdling newcomers.
