Irish point winner who made a promising start under Rules, runner-up in a mares' novice hurdle at Exeter prior to winning one at Wincanton. However, it's been pretty much downhill all the way since and she was disappointing on return/chase debut (also first run following a wind op) at Warwick.
|
Better than ever when winning 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles last term. Duly made it third time lucky in this sphere when landing a 3-runner handicap at Fontwell (3¼m, heavy) last month and while more will be needed up 6 lb here, another bold show is very much on the cards.
|
Posted best effort since her winning chase debut at Hereford in November 2022 when hitting the crossbar at that course on her seasonal reappearance. Looked held when unseating back there last month, albeit that was in a Class 2 event and couldn't rule out back down in grade here.
|
Successful on sole outing in points and found only one too good on first 2 starts over hurdles last season. Disappointing in handicaps since but it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say now that she's switched to the larger obstacles.
|
Bumper/hurdles winner but well below that level in 5 starts over fences so far. Never in the hunt (eventually pulled up) at Hereford last time and she can only be watched at present.
|
Found improvement on return/handicap hurdle debut when chasing Shesupincourt home here (23.6f, heavy) in November. Has made the frame both subsequent appearances and each-way chance if taking to fences at the first attempt.
|
Finally got off the mark in 3m handicap hurdle here in November and looked unlucky when unseating on chase debut back at this venue next time. Resumed winning ways reverting to hurdles at Bangor (23f, heavy) 8 days later and big chance granted a clear round back in this sphere.
|
Patchy form for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland and she hasn't pulled up any trees in half-a-dozen starts for this yard.

Forecasts
Shesupincourt (5/2), Flintara (11/4), Do You Think (5/1), Cooleenymore (6/1), Iorens (8/1), Annie Magic (10/1), Penny Mallow (12/1), Moon Eagle (50/1)
SHESUPINCOURT jumped perfectly well prior to a rather unlucky exit on her chase debut here in November, and she has looked better than ever in winning handicap hurdles at this course and at Bangor either side of that. This revised mark should be within her reach and she will prove a tough nut to crack if avoiding any mishaps. Flintara did the job well at Fontwell and is a much-respected main danger, while Iorens is well worth a second look now switched to fences.
