Fit from the Flat and resumed winning ways in 2m Southwell handicap hurdle last month despite going keenly. Has more to offer in this sphere and very much one to consider.

Fairly useful Flat performer who gained a second hurdle success in 17f Sedgefield handicap in January. Creditable fourth at Newcastle (17f) since so he's shortlisted.

Remains a maiden after 22 runs but she posted a good second for her new yard in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Can give another good account.

Regressive on the Flat but bettered her two previous runs over hurdles when sixth of 11 in novice at Wetherby (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs another step forward now going handicapping.

5/4
Winner of 11f Southwell novice on level for Sir Mark Prescott last year and has shown promise when placed on both her hurdling starts over C&D and at Catterick. Looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow. Big shout.

Forecasts

Pretending (5/4), Gilbertina (16/5), At A Pinch (11/2), Minelladestination (7/1), Ravenscar (17/2), Emma Lamb (16/1), Rhyme Scheme (66/1)

Verdict

PRETENDING has gone with promise when placed on both her hurdling starts and looks to start handicaps on an attractive mark so Lucy Wadham's filly is fancied to add to her Flat success at the chief expense of Southwell-scorer At A Pinch who has more to offer still. In-form maiden Emma Lamb appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
