Already a six-time winner under Rules, gaining her third hurdles success despite conceding first run at Perth 8 months ago. Didn't really take to fences on handicap debut at Ludlow in October and quickly back over the smaller obstacles.

Bought for £145,000 after winning her sole Irish point in November 2022 and looked a good prospect as she won 4-runner 20f Ffos Las novice hurdle in February. Sound second under a penalty a month later and retains potential now handicapping after a break.

Beat only other finisher sole start in points and looked a good prospect when drawing clear to land a weakly-contested bumper in April. Maintained unbeaten record readily on hurdles bow at Wetherby last month before finding one too good at Warwick (21f), flashing her tail.

Had a productive time in 2022/23, scoring 5 times. Failed to come on for this season's reappearance when well held at Wetherby but down in class, she returned to form when third at Musselburgh a month ago.

Maiden winner at Haydock and shaped as though retaining her ability when seventh on reappearance in October. Upped in trip and more needed from this mark.

Placed twice in maiden company in Ireland for Colm Murphy. Fell when last seen in July and dropped away tamely on stable debut last month. Mark looks too high.

Won 2m Hexham novice on hurdle debut/reappearance in November 2022 and bettered that form when second under a penalty at Ludlow (21f) the following month. Turned over at short odds in a Ffos Las novice and ended last season with a tame effort. Since left Harry Skelton and undergone wind surgery.

Hurdles/chase winner who has been afforded a chance by the handicapper and confirmed she's in good nick with a brace of placed efforts during the autumn. Back in trip and she can remain competitive.

Picked up for £130,000 after finishing second on sole start between the flags and she made a winning Rules debut in a bumper at Bangor. Left first 2 hurdles starts behind when a smooth winner at Southwell last week and claims are obvious from the same mark.

Forecasts

Cherie D'am (6/4), Realisation (10/3), Poetic Music (6/1), Could Be Trouble (17/2), Royale Dance (11/1), Ah Whisht (14/1), Golden Glance (18/1), Lone Star (25/1), Hamartia (40/1)

Verdict

It's hard to get away from REALISATION, who escapes a penalty for last week's smooth win on handicap debut at Southwell. Could Be Trouble is pretty exposed but is very likely to give it another good shot, with An Whisht a potential improver on reappearance.
