Winner of bumper at Uttoxeter in July and caught the eye on more than one occasion in maiden/novice company over hurdles since. Interesting upped in trip on handicap debut.

6/1
Landed a Worcester handicap chase in autumn 2021 but hasn't really built on that since. However, 5 lb below her winning mark now and could be a player if recovered from first-flight fall last time.

9/1
Made a winning start over hurdles at Leicester (15.5f) 15 months ago but record has been distinctly patchy since, running no sort of race at Newbury latest. Eased in grade now but remains hard to recommend.

Promising debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot in the summer but she's shown very little since and was behind when coming down on handicap debut at Fontwell over Christmas.

Fair maiden on the Flat for Phillip Makin in 2018 but it's a long time since she showed any form over obstacles for this yard. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Maid Of The Night (5/4), Masked Matgil (2/1), Makety (6/1), Lady Pacifico (9/1), Kentford Swansong (12/1), Hedychium (20/1), Alfa Dawn (50/1)

Verdict

Preference is for MASKED MATGIL, who has already shown ability in this sphere and could improve significantly for the step up in trip on her handicap bow. Maid of The Night has a similar profile and is feared most, whilst Makety also warrants respect.

  1. Masked Matgil2/1
  2. Maid Of The Night5/4
  3. Makety6/1
