Cecil & Sheila Buttifant Memorial Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Fairly useful on Flat, adding to tally on AW in August. Made second hurdles start a winning one in Huntingdon novice in November and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats when second of 4 at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago.

Fair form over hurdles in France for J. Delaunay, best effort when second in claimer at Angouleme (18.9f) in May. Didn't need to get anywhere near that level to taste success in a claimer at Ludlow when last seen in November. Since left Alastair Ralph and mark looks high,

Successful twice during the first half of this season, including at this venue. Another excellent effort when second at Wincanton last month but shade disappointing at Carlisle a fortnight ago.

Regressive on the Flat and has yet to better modest form over hurdles.

Improved second upped to 20.5f on handicap debut/reappearance at Huntingdon in November. Safely held next 2 starts but then improved dropped back at 2m when striking at Lingfield in February. Backed that up from revised mark when second at Southwell.

First form over hurdles when third of 10 at Southwell last month. Needs to build on that switched to a handicap.

Fairly useful ex-French Flat winner in 2020, but has been disappointing in 5 runs over hurdles, not achieving a great deal despite finishing third at Hereford 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time.

Much more like it when last seen in the autumn, finding second in a brace of handicaps. Player if she returns in that sort of form.
