Has hinted at ability in a trio of mares' novice hurdles but not enough to make her of serious interest off this opening mark now pitched into a handicap.
|
French import who was hit hard by the handicapper after making all in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last spring. Save for a respectable effort at Ludlow in December, she hasn't cut much ice switched to fences this season but may well bounce back returned to this sphere on the back of a wind op.
|
Made the frame first 2 starts in novice events and didn't perform at all badly under an inexperienced amateur when fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, heavy). 1 lb lower now and she has to enter calculations.
|
Placed both starts over hurdles for Stuart Crawford and recorded her best effort for current yard when third of 7 over 2m at Fakenham before Christmas. Needs to build on that but good chance that she will down 2 lb with Harry Cobden taking over.
|
Positive start when third on debut in a Fakenham bumper on debut last season but has become increasingly temperamental since (no show all 3 starts in this sphere) and big step forward needed now handicapping in a first-time hood.
|
Goes well fresh, as she demonstrated when making a winning reappearance at Warwick in November. However, commensurate with her rather up-and-down profile she has failed to back that up in 3 subsequent starts, including with the visor enlisted (retained here) last time.
|
Remains a maiden following 13 attempts in this sphere and while she wouldn't be without a chance if reproducing the form of her C&D second last March, the percentage call is to look elsewhere given her subsequent exploits.

Forecasts
Pipers Cross (11/8), After Many Days (15/8), Young At Heart (4/1), Our Pink Lady (9/2), Dazzling Dove (15/2), Kosasiempre (15/2), Kalpaga (9/1), Annie Day (12/1)
AFTER MANY DAYS made a fairly encouraging start in handicaps when fifth at Leicester and, with Pipers Cross due to run at Huntingdon on Sunday, she could be the answer off a 1 lb lower mark. Our Pink Lady wasn't disgraced at Fakenham last time and she is second choice ahead of Kalpaga, who will be a danger to all if back to something like her best returned to this sphere following an unsuccessful stint over fences.
- After Many Days15/8
- Kalpaga9/1
