Colts And Fillies Handicap Hurdle

Got back on track with a dominant front-running display in a Newbury handicap hurdle in December. Disappointing at the same course next time, though, and she looks vulnerable.

Very capable sort who has been lightly raced in recent seasons. Not the most consistent these days and arrives on the back of a lesser effort at Chepstow a couple of months ago.

Found improvement on debut for Olly Murphy when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby in December and good efforts in defeat since, runner-up back there last time. Should give another good account.

Ran out a good winner at Wincanton (19.8f) in November and backed it up with a solid showing when third at Kelso last time. Might not have reached his limit and expected to be on the premises again.

Triple winner in novice hurdles last season and improved from his chasing debut to score in a 4-runner Ascot handicap in November. Not so good next 2 starts but returned to form reverted to hurdles/back up in trip when runner-up here (23.5f, good to soft) last month.

Has made up into a fairly useful novice, routing the opposition on return/debut over hurdles at Warwick (21f) then defying a penalty in an unconventional race at Aintree. First poor effort in this sphere when only fifth at Exeter last time but could get back on track.

Usually consistent but appears to have lost his form for the time being, so others are preferred even if he's sliding in the weights.

Second win over hurdles for his current yard at Sandown in November. Strong at the finish when third in a big-field Ascot handicap on penultimate outing and possibly unsuited by conditions at Doncaster last time.
