Has a quirky side, but it isn't stopping her at present, winning 3 of her 4 starts since switching to handicap hurdles. A further 6 lb rise makes life harder but further progress can't be discounted.
|
Bumper winner but yet to really kick on over hurdles. Should be sharper for last month's Newcastle reappearance, though, and being dropped a further 2 lb can only help.
|
Built on his handicap debut fourth of 19 on reappearance when seeing off 7 rivals over 2½m in the mud at Hexham last month. Should be more to come from him now stepping up to 3m.
|
Modest in bumpers and similar standard in novice hurdles at up to 2½m. More chance now handicapping and he's bred to be suited by this longer trip.
|
Resumed with encouraging third at Haydock last season but left Matt Sheppard after finishing fifth at Warwick a year ago and has struggled in 3 outings for current yard. Has lots to prove.
|
Fortunate winner of a 5-runner novice at Sedgefield in April but no luck about her 23f Market Rasen handicap success 3 weeks ago. Unexposed as a stayer and much respected off 4 lb higher.
|
Modest maiden who weakened to finish well held on her 21f course reappearance in October. Still relatively unexposed but others arrive with much more pressing claims.
|
Irish point winner who landed a gamble in 7-runner handicap at Plumpton (25f, soft, 4/1) last month, suited by the increase test of stamina. Backed that up when second at Taunton (3m) 10 days later. Another 5 lb higher here but still respected.
|
Still looking for first success but has been runner-up over 3m at Hexham on her last 2 outings. This looks more competitive so perhaps playing for minor honours at best again.
|
Poor maiden handicap hurdler who was well held at Newcastle last month. Others are more obvious.
|
Poor maiden but was third over fences at Newcastle last month and yet to be asked for effort when unseating 3 out at Hexham since. Reverts to hurdles now.
|
Reached the frame twice over C&D last spring but off since a lesser run at Southwell in April and this long-standing maiden is probably best watched this time.
|
Returned to winning ways with a narrow success at Market Rasen last December. Not in the same form since, but now 5 lb below that winning mark so dangerous if staging a revival.
|
Too free after 8 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 49 days ago. Should step forward now but others are still preferred.

Forecasts
Clovis Boy (7/2), Shewearsthewellies (4/1), It's Maisy (5/1), Abbeyhill (5/1), You Say Its Over (10/1), Perculator (14/1), My Strong Man (16/1), Eveque (20/1), Storm Force One (20/1), Oliver's Island (20/1), Amber Gold (20/1), Knacker Trapper (20/1), Invincible De Mee (25/1), One Fer Mamma (25/1)
IT'S MAISY relished the step up to around 3m when making a successful start to her handicap career at Market Rasen and is narrowly preferred to fellow lightly-raced improver Clovis Boy. The thriving Shewearsthewellies and Neil Mulholland's Abbeyhill are others likely to have a say.
