Fair bumper/maiden hurdle winner who found just one too good in a Catterick handicap on penultimate start. However, pulled up at Haydock and over this C&D either side of that, and she's probably worth taking on.
|
Won handicap at Bangor and mares novice at Carlisle last season, and creditable fifth of 8 on return at Newcastle (20.3f) on Boxing Day. Failed to build on that upped in trip over C&D last time, though, and needs to get back on track.
|
Successful at Catterick last January and stepped up on this season's previous efforts when hitting the crossbar over C&D at the beginning of the month. Remains 2 lb below last winning mark and she has to enter calculations.
|
Dual hurdles winner last term who dispelled a poor effort over fences when scoring comfortably in this sphere at Catterick (25.3f) on penultimate start. Far from disgraced when fourth off this mark at Newcastle since and she's a live each-way contender.
|
Runner-up in a Taunton bumper back last January (only outing for Fergal O'Brien) and again found just one too good on return/hurdles bow at Sedgefield. However, it's been all downhill since and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
|
Showed a bit more spark when third in a Kelso novice back from a lengthy absence in December but subsequently pulled up on handicap debut over this C&D.
|
Runner-up in handicaps final 2 starts of 2020/21 campaign and encouraging fourth of 10 back from a layoff at Chepstow in November. Below par both subsequent appearances, though, and she needs to bounce back.
|
No show in a bumper/3 starts over hurdles to date and big step forward needed now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
|
Maiden who ran much better than previously in handicaps when third on return here (3m) in October. Filled the same spot in an 8-runner contest over 20.4f here recently and she's one to consider off the same mark.
|
No show in 3 novice hurdles in 2020/21 and will only be of interest now handicapping following a major absence if the market vibes are notably upbeat.
|
Not disgraced first 2 starts for her new yard this term but she failed to fire over 21.4f here last time. Stamina to prove over this new trip and, chances are, she'll find a few of these too strong.
|
Surpassed previous exploits when third in a Wetherby handicap (3m) last March but has failed to build on that in handful of subsequent outings. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Forecasts
Joanna I'm Fine (10/3), September Daisy (10/3), Jessiemac (9/2), Atomic Angel (7/1), Lady Tremaine (10/1), Howzat Hiris (12/1), Follow That (12/1), Gale Force One (16/1), Reve De Niamh (18/1), Lady Bowes (18/1), Farne Island (33/1), Gypsey's Secret (100/1)
The vote goes to JESSIEMAC, who once again proved that she goes well here when runner-up over C&D last time, pulling clear of the rest, and Ian Duncan's charge could be the answer. Joanna I'm Fine put in a decent shift at this course recently and won't mind going back up in trip, so she is second choice ahead of Atomic Angel.
