Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond and completed straightforward tasks when winning first 3 starts over hurdles in 2021/22. Lost her unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper on her return at Taunton in January and has had a breathing operation since.
|
Likeable mare who enhanced an excellent course record when scoring easily over C&D on Boxing Day. Fine runner-up efforts at Chepstow next 2 outings but found her run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Fakenham last time. Bounce back needed.
|
Proved better than ever when recording a third success over hurdles at Southwell in June. Held in fifth when falling last at Uttoxeter next time and then suffered a tack problem at Hereford. Folded on most recent Flat outing, so returns to this code with a bit to prove.
|
Added to an excellent record at Taunton when getting off the mark for the season there in December. However, needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts.
|
C&D winner who has been pretty disappointing in handicaps for Oliver Sherwood but lurks on a handy mark starting out for an up-and-coming yard. Tongue strap on for 1st time and market support would look interesting on first run since July.
|
C&D winner who bounced back to form when fourth at Fontwell in February and backed that up in a far better-quality contest when third at Chepstow (2m) last time. Well worth considering back against her own sex.

Forecasts
Petticoat Lucy (5/2), Puffin Bay (3/1), Lady Adare (7/2), No No Tonic (7/2), Somespring Special (5/1), Gentle Connections (10/1), Amelia's Dance (11/1), Addosh (12/1)
PUFFIN BAY has been a bit disappointing so far in handicaps, but she lurks on a handy mark setting out for a progressive new yard following a break, so could easily revive. Petticoat Lucy looks to be coming to the boil again and is feared most.
- Puffin Bay3/1
- Lady Adare7/2
