Thompson Property & Risk Services Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Likeable mare who resumed winning ways at Stratford (2m) in July and signed off last year with good second at Uttoxeter. Solid reappearance effort (on back of wind op) when fourth on Flat at Sandown (10f) 6 days ago and not out of things returned to hurdles.

Bumper winner who was well placed to land 4-timer in novice hurdles at around 2m last summer. Creditable run on back of an 8-month absence on the Flat at Kempton (12f) 21 days ago ought to have set her up nicely for this return to obstacles. Player.

Won 4 juvenile hurdles in summer 2020. Missed the following year but confirmed he still has something to offer over hurdles during the winter, fourth in 11-runner Doncaster handicap (16.6f) in December. Has eased considerably in weights if building on that back from 5 months off.

Enjoyed a productive spell last summer, landing back-to-back handicaps prior to a brace of runner-up efforts at Newton Abbot. Ran right up to form on return from 9 months off at Southwell 16 days ago and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Exuberant sort who was improved when scoring twice over hurdles last May. However, pulled up on return/chase debut in January and essentially struggled on 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles since.

Thrived latterly last year, forging clear to make it 2 wins from last 3 starts in mares' novice handicap at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Career-high mark to defy on return but she remains fairly low mileage.
