Showed some ability in mares novice events this season and remains with some potential now sent handicapping.

Consistent sort who has been placed on all 4 outings since switching to handicap company, latest when third of 12 at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the mix again.

Ended a long losing run with a decisive success in Bangor handicap (16.7f, heavy) for amateur/conditional riders in December. May have found race coming too soon when well beaten at Catterick next time but others more appealing.

Twice a winner over fences who was returning from 10 months off when respectable third over hurdles at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Entitled to build on that and warrants respect.

Finally got off the mark in 3m handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f) in November and looked unlucky when unseating on chase debut at same venue next time. Resumed winning ways reverting to hurdles at Bangor (23f, heavy) last month and is one for shortlist here.

Run well both starts for new yard, latest when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, soft) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and holds solid claims.

Back to winning ways at Exeter (18.5f) last month and backed that up with creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (21.6f) at same course 33 days ago. Can make presence felt.

It's been a while since she last got her head in front but she has posted some creditable efforts in defeat in the interim, not least when fourth in 13-runner Taunton handicap (16.5f, good to soft) earlier this month. Likely contender.

Bounced back to best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 57 days ago, all out. 5 lb higher mark to contend with now but is another to consider.

Down the field in 3 novice hurdles but this well-related mare may do better now switched to handicap company for top yard. Market check advised.

Modest maiden on Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles, last of 4 at Fakenham latest attempt in this sphere. Work to do from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Produced one of better efforts over hurdles when fourth of 7 in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) 65 days ago, well positioned. Remains hard to fancy from 6 lb out of the weights, however. Had wind operation.

Pipers Cross (3/1), Sindabella (11/2), Shesupincourt (11/2), Ede'iffs Rock (13/2), Only Fools (13/2), Gaia Vallis (13/2), Spinnaker Blue (16/1), Chantilly Rose (18/1), Mullins Cross (25/1), Jessie Lightfoot (28/1), After Many Days (28/1), Limelight (33/1), Ceci Wells (66/1)

Verdict

PIPERS CROSS has made a good start for her new yard, pulling clear of the remainder when runner-up at Doncaster last time. She gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Shesupincourt and Gaia Vallis should also go well.
