IEP Financial Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Much improved switched to handicaps, winning in good style around 19.5f at Hereford and Bangor in recent days. Good chance of a hat-trick.

Won this race 12 months ago and added to her tally at Southwell in November. Weak in the market and failed to beat a rival at Taunton last month. Needs to leave that form behind with cheekpieces reapplied.

Modest on the Flat but switch to hurdles/fitting of cheekpieces did the trick at Leicester where she justified support in a 7-runner juvenile event. Well beaten twice since but it would be no surprise to see her get back on track now handicapping.

Modest Flat winner and similar standard over hurdles, wining a weak Hereford juvenile maiden for Richard Spencer last season. Well beaten in AW classified event and Fontwell handicap hurdle since joining this yard. Has had wind surgery ahead of this first outing for 3 months.

Showed ability when second of 4 in juvenile event (9/4) at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) on debut in November but well held both outings since. Needs to get back on track now handicapping.

Bumper winner on debut for Stuart Crawford in 2019. Lightly raced since but latest Catterick handicap debut third shows she can be competitive from her mark.

Won a Leicester claimer for Milton Harris last winter. Placed twice later in that campaign but has offered little in 3 outings this term. Needs first-time blinkers to spark a major revival.

Looks limited on early evidence but low-grade handicaps do provide her with a more realistic chance.
