Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut. Respected.

100/1
22/1, remote fifth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on debut 63 days ago. Unless the betting hints otherwise she's best watched now switching to hurdles.

Winning Irish pointer. Modest form in 2 bumpers and a 3m course maiden hurdle for new connections but she's the type to do better before long.

8/15
Cheltenham bumper winner last spring who was also third in a listed bumper there in November. Better effort in novice hurdles since (fair form) when 4 lengths third at Sedgefield last month. That bumper ability suggests there should be more to come.

Related to winners and runner-up on her final start in bumpers. Better effort over hurdles when 8 lengths second of 5 in 2m Southwell mares' maiden 82 days ago. Up in trip. Has had wind surgery since Southwell.

More one for handicaps judged on her efforts in Ayr maiden hurdles before Christmas.

Placed in points. 25/1, fifth of 10 in novice at Kelso (23f, heavy) on hurdle debut 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May do better.

£32,000 purchase after winning a point last January. Needed experience when remote fifth on Fairyhouse hurdle debut 12 months later. Should be wider now and worth a precautionary betting check.

Forecasts

Micks Jet (8/15), Josie Alice (9/2), Barrons Land (5/1), Miss Arabella (10/1), Somebody's Fortune (16/1), Speranza Wilde (22/1), Ice Day (100/1), Snow Shepherdess (150/1)

Verdict

MICKS JET's Sedgefield third is the best hurdle form on offer and her bumper ability suggests there should be more to come over hurdles so she's the one to beat. Recent Doncaster bumper second Barrons Land is second choice ahead of Miss Arabella.
