Horse A-Z
Shaped with a good degree of promise amidst inexperience when fourth of 10 on debut in bumper at Ludlow in May and better effort over hurdles when second of 5 in novice at Doncaster a month ago. This requires more.

11/4
Half-sister to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking in a 10-runner event at Stratford in August. Solid efforts both subsequent outings and should take to hurdling, so looks a player.

Offered little tongue tied in a Newton Abbot bumper on only outing for Brian Barr and down the field in a novice at Taunton on hurdling debut 5 days ago. Others preferred.

£125,000 half-sister to fair hurdler Minella Double (2½m winner, by Shantou) from the family of smart hurdler/chaser (stays 23f) Death Duty. Every chance when fell last sole start in Irish points (Mar 23). Notable Rules newcomer.

200/1
Third in a point bumper but hasn't beaten a rival in 2 mares bumpers. Impossible to fancy on hurdles bow.
|
Timeform
Placed on all 3 starts in Irish points (£60,000 purchase). Shaping well when losing her rider in extraordinary fashion 3 out on hurdles debut at Ludlow and seemed unsuited by drop in trip at Exeter last time. Remains with plenty of potential.

16/1, fourth of 9 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut, not knocked about. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Polly Gundry. Worth monitoring in the betting.
|
Timeform
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers at Newton Abbot in July 2021. Something to work on in two hurdling outings almost two years apart but probably more of a handicap type.

22/1
Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France. Changed hands for €30,000 in November 2022 but has shown little for her new yard.
|
Timeform
Made the frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers, but offered little on her stable/hurdling debut when well-beaten sixth in maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) a month ago. However, she could fare better with recent run behind her.
|
Timeform
Built on debut effort when making the frame in bumpers at Musselburgh and Fakenham towards the end of last season. Some encouragement when seventh in novice at Market Rasen on hurdling debut and is open to improvement.

66/1
Sister to a couple of bumper winners and solid start when third at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in May 2022. Failed to build on that subsequently and has 11-month absence to overcome on hurdling debut.

Forecasts

Betty's Tiara (11/4), Kit's Coty (3/1), Scarlet O'Tara (7/2), Madame Pompadour (8/1), Mattie Ross (10/1), Dromlac Jury (10/1), After Many Days (14/1), Ostrava Du Berlais (22/1), Quite The Getaway (22/1), Shady Daisy (66/1), Jenner Park (200/1), Dora's Addrezz (250/1)

Verdict

DROMLAC JURY held every chance when coming down in an Irish point and has been purchased for a hefty sum since, so she's worth taking a chance on switched to hurdling. Kit's Coty remains with potential back up in trip and Betty's Tiara is an interesting hurdling debutante.
