Richard Strachan Memorial Mares' Handicap Chase

Sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Auteuil (17.4f, heavy, 55/10). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving David Cottin. Worth a market check on stable/British debut.

Already a six-time winner under Rules, gaining her third hurdles success despite conceding first run at Perth 6 months ago. Should take to this discipline, so may be up to improving an already excellent strike rate.

Lightly-raced sort who got off the mark in 3m novice at Limerick (heavy) in March. Only fourteenth on handicap debut at Cork following month on her final run for Paul Nolan. Still needs considering though on her first run in this sphere for her new yard.

Scored twice in the spring before a creditable showing despite stiffer fences at Cheltenham 6 months ago. Has a vast experience edge over her rivals and should be on the premises.

Bumper winner who belatedly got off the mark over hurdles in 14-runner handicap at Carlisle in February. Followed up to land a much bigger pot at Cheltenham (20.2f) subsequently and ran with credit at Aintree 5 months ago. Should go well on chase bow.

Irish point winner who scored with any amount in hand in a weak mares' maiden hurdle at Wetherby in March. Just respectable effort next time and has since left Fergal O'Brien but she's very much the type to take to chasing.

Fair bumper performer who has reached a similar level over hurdles and shaped well when second at Warwick when last seen almost 6 months ago. Can make her presence felt if she takes to this new discipline.

French import who was backed at big prices when cashing in on a reduced mark at Hereford (19.7f) in April. 7/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Attentions are now turned to chasing.
