Three-time scorer last term but yet to fire this season. Now 9 lb below last winning mark but remains hard to recommend.

Having dropped below her last winning mark, bounced back to form when recording a fourth course success at Bath (5f) in April, albeit having a perfect trip along the inside rail. Not been in same form since, though.

Back to winning ways at Brighton (6f) earlier this month and had excuses (missed the break) when below that level at Goodwood since. Not out of things.

Shaped well when fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Still relatively unexposed and must enter calculations.

Ended 2022 with victory in 6f Newcastle novice in December and far from disgraced in both outings this year, latest when seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago, worst of draw. Blinkers now tried for first time.

At the top of her game, completing the hat-trick with bit to spare in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 11/4) 13 days ago. 7 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to best effect (poorly drawn) when eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Better showing anticipated with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Resumed progress when winning 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 15/8) 17 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. This is more competitive but she warrants plenty of respect.

Bounced back to form when good third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 21 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Tongue strap back on.

Thrice-raced maiden. No signs of improvement when seventh of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on return earlier this month and something to prove on handicap debut.

Returned to form, on debut for new yard, when close second of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, firm) 14 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is just 1 lb higher now. Tongue strap on first time.

Forecasts

Rich Rhythm (7/2), Hurt You Never (4/1), De Bruyne (11/2), The Princes Poet (13/2), Jax Edge (15/2), Sarah's Verse (9/1), Ignac Lamar (9/1), Due Date (12/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (14/1), Papabella (22/1), Katar (28/1)

Verdict

HURT YOU NEVER is very much a filly in form and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise in the handicap for her latest success. Jax Edge and Rich Rhythm head the list of dangers.
