Graeme Todd Memorial Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Winning pointer who hinted at promise when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, 5/1) on her NH debut. Similar form when third at Newcastle next time and off since (20 months) but opening mark looks a fair one.

Maiden Irish pointer who showed significant improvement in making a successful handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle in April. Shaped as if amiss sent chasing after 6 months off at Carlisle 23 days ago but remains of interest back over hurdles.

Hinted at ability in 3 runs over hurdles and may do better now handicapping after a break.

Opened hurdles account here in February 2022 and looked set double her tally following a wind op back at this course (21f, soft) last month, only for a lack of peak fitness to tell late on. However, proved a big disappointment back here 2 weeks ago. Back up in trip.

Has hinted at ability and may do better now handicapping after 6 months off.

Picked up for only £1,500 after failing to click in 3 starts for Neil Mulholland but capitalised on a falling mark after 6 months off at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) on yard debut in August. Backed that up when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Carlisle (20f, soft) 16 days ago.

Showed improved form to get off the mark from 6 lb out of the weights at Hexham in May and shaped as if needing run on comeback there 5 weeks ago. Better expected now.

Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers for Willie Mullins but little solid form over hurdles, flattered in a falsely-run race here 5 weeks ago.

Poor form over hurdles/fences but wasn't disgraced back over hurdles when fourth here (18f) last time and mark eases once again.

Showed little in 3 runs last season after 2 years off so plenty to prove.

Won 3 times over fences last spring. Back on track when third of 7 over hurdles at Carlisle (19f, good) in April but pulled up all 3 starts since. Off 5 months.
