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)
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.
- Realisation10/3
- Could Be Trouble17/2
- Ah Whisht14/1
