Bahri filly. Dam winning pointer. Sent off at 50/1 and went with no promise on bumper debut at Sedgefield (16.8f) in March 2019. Can only be watched making her hurdling debut after almost 5 years off the track.

Hinted at ability despite beaten a long way when third of 5 in a mares' novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) on debut but well down the field over C&D (16.9f) 40 days ago. Lots more is required.

5/6
Fair staying performer on the level for James Fanshawe. Acquired by new connections for 9,000 gns in October and stepped up on her first effort over hurdles when runner-up at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 33 days ago. Tongue tie on and every chance she can go one better.

11/1
Showed modest form when third on her first 2 starts in bumpers without looking blessed with a lot of speed and it was a similar story on her hurdling debut (hooded) when down the field at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 4 months ago. Considerable step forward required.

Showed ability at long odds at Sedgefield on debut in October and built on that effort to get off the mark there in November. Found out under a penalty at same track on Boxing Day, but no surprise should she have a say now hurdling.

Well held in 2 bumpers and tailed-off last on both hurdles starts. Impossible to fancy.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Harry & Roger Charlton but sold pretty cheaply and made a discouraging debut in this sphere returning from 4 months off when tailed off at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Spit Spot (5/6), Emily's Choice (10/3), Vanilla Dancer (10/3), Touch Of A Dragon (11/1), Audreys Pride (16/1), Princess Of Mercia (33/1), Lillistar (40/1), Western Glen (125/1), Naughty Nancie (200/1)

Verdict

This can go to SPIT SPOT, who showed more like her Flat form with her hurdling debut under her belt when runner-up at Wetherby last month and with a first-time tongue tie applied, Lucinda Russell's mare may well prove difficult to stop. Bumper winner Vanilla Dancer heads up the dangers, with Emily's Choice (who took 7 attempts to get off the mark in Irish points) also considered.
