Listed bumper winner at Huntingdon and also won a hurdle there last May. Has yet to make an impact in handicaps though so has work to do.
|
Modest form at best in bumpers and matched that form when causing a surprise in 8-runner novice at Fontwell in August. Creditable run there under a penalty but handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark.
|
Cheekpieces on for first time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Twice pulled up at Warwick since though for Lucy Wadham. Handily weighted though if the switch to this in-form yard sparks a big resurgence.
|
Irish point winner hasn't really gone on from finishing fourth in a 16-runner event at Hereford on hurdles bow this time last year. Struggled on handicap debut in February and needs stable switch from Alex Hales to have sparked some improvement.
|
Returned from a lengthy absence with a good second at Hereford in January but failed to back it up there two months later. Needs to get back on track after a break.
|
Excellent second in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f) in August but pulled up at Fontwell following month. Worth another chance.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who posted her best effort when third of 8 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Up in trip for her handicap debut. One to consider.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 65 days ago. Lots more is required.
|
It's now fifteen runs since her last win in 2021 but she wasn't discredited when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Others are still preferred.
|
Yet to better poor form over hurdles, pulled up in 23f Worcester handicap in September on her final run for Fergal O'Brien. Hooded for yard debut with lots to prove.

Forecasts
Mistral Nell (3/1), Sinurita (9/2), Criquette (5/1), Crem Fresh (6/1), Malina Jamila (6/1), Betty's Belle (17/2), Eliza Dolittle (9/1), Courtney Silver (16/1), Div Ine Tara (40/1), Aurelia Fadilla (150/1)
Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so it is worth siding with MISTRAL NELL to take a big step forward now under the expert tutelage of Fergal O'Brien and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Eliza Dolittle is feared most now going handicapping up in trip, with Sinurita appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
- Mistral Nell3/1
