Encouraging start to her career when runner-up in a Cork bumper last January. No progress in 2 subsequent starts for previous connections but it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting now switched to hurdles for her new yard. Has undergone a wind op.
|
Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut in January. Showed aptitude for hurdling when fourth in mares' maiden at Musselburgh (19.8f) 31 days ago and this drop back in trip may help.
|
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €130,000/had wind operation, probably needed the run when fifth of 9 in Hereford maiden (16.2f) 24 days ago and likely her yard will find the key to her.
|
Telescope filly who again ran to a fair level when second of 13 in mares' maiden at Catterick (15.7f) in January. Not in same form when fourth at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 6 weeks ago but not taken lightly now back down in trip.
|
Irish raider who returned in good heart late last year, finishing good second in 17-runner Naas handicap (2m, soft) in December. Disappointed next time and again not at her best when 10 lengths sixth of 7 in Ayr mares' handicap (21.4f) 11 days ago. Another dropping back in trip.
|
£40,000 4-y-o, Flemensfirth mare. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 12) but could never get on terms when seventh of 12 in Kelso bumper on Rules bow 33 days ago. In good hands and better showing likely now hurdling.
|
Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 10). Little immediate encouragement when well beaten on Rules/bumper debut at Wetherby (2m) in January and looked one for later on/longer trips when midfield on hurdles debut at Bangor (16.6f) 3 weeks ago.
|
Bumper winner who looked in need of the experience when runner-up in junior event at Ludlow on her hurdles bow in December. Rather disappointing next 2 starts but seemingly back on track when third in C&D Victor Ludorum and big chance if able to reproduce that level of form.

Forecasts
Dameofthecotswolds (2/1), Ascending Lark (85/40), Phone Home (10/3), Poppy Rose (17/2), Lady Pretender (14/1), Barrons Land (20/1), Santapietra (33/1), Wrappedinrubies (100/1)
DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS returned to form when third behind subsequent Triumph Hurdle-third Salver in the Victor Ludorum over C&D 32 days ago and a repeat of that could well be enough to see her score here in receipt of weight all round. Ascending Lark, now hurdling/following a wind op is worth a look on debut for Harry Derham, with Phone Home another who is fancied to be in the mix.
