Core - Centre Of Roofing Excellence Hereford Mares' 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Poor form in a couple of Irish bumpers and no show in 2 hurdles for new yard. Has had wind surgery.

Big prices when pulled up in novice hurdles over 3 months apart. First-time cheekpieces will need to transform her.

Encouraging third on Exeter hurdle debut (17f, heavy) and looked set to be placed again when falling heavily at the last at Hereford (2m, soft) 25 days ago. Should be thereabouts if none the worse.

Tailed off in a course bumper on her debut 26 days ago. Can only watch after that.

Well in 2 hurdles last spring and best to look elsewhere on this rather belated return to action.

Has no more than hinted at ability in 2 bumpers this winter.

Well beaten in 2 bumpers but showed a bit when fourth on Lingfield hurdle debut in December. In process of running well when falling 3 out at Exeter 7 weeks later but well beaten at Bangor 3 weeks ago.

Fetched £85,000 after winning sole point start in April 2022 and runner-up in a Catterick bumper and 2m Hereford maiden hurdle for her new connections. Capable of better and should make a bold bid here.

Third on Exeter bumper debut on New Year's Day but the form is modest. Beaten a long way on Lingfield hurdle debut 6 weeks later but much better signs with a tongue strap added when second at Wincanton (15f, heavy) 14 days ago. This stiffer test could see her to better effect.

Pulled up only start in Irish points and no encouragement as yet under Rules.

Runner-up twice in bumpers prior to scoring readily on her Ludlow hurdle debut just before Christmas. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent outings but it's still early days and a first-time hood may help her to settle better.
