Winner of sole start in Irish points and created a good impression when making a successful debut over hurdles at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Below expectations when well held at Warwick next time, but no surprise to see her bounce back following a wind op.
|
Encouragement when making the frame in bumper and built on her hurdling debut effort when winning mares maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) last month, staying on strongly after meeting trouble. Not taken lightly with further improvement to come.
|
Runner-up both starts in bumpers and, having reportedly lost her action on hurdles bow in November, she proved a different proposition (had wind op/in first-time tongue strap) when a close third to Moonlit Potter at Lingfield last time. Enters calculations.
|
In need of the experience when never a threat on bumper debut. However, having had a wind op and in first-time tongue strap, she failed to progress when mid-field at Wincanton in February. Upped in distance as she goes over hurdles.
|
Showed some ability when fourth in Chepstow bumper a year ago but ran poorly on return at the same course in January. Needs to get back on track over this longer trip on her hurdles bow.
|
Offered little in bumpers for Martin Keighley and, after a 22-month absence, pulled up at Wincanton on her stable/hurdles debut in February. However, she took a step forward when fourth of 8 in novice at Taunton (19f, heavy) last time. Needs to find more again.
|
Fair form at best in a trio of bumpers for Dan Skelton, but finished well beaten in novice at Fakenham (20f, soft) starting off over hurdles last month. Best watched.
|
No better than mid-division in 2 bumpers, but made her effort on the unfavoured inner part of the track when eighth of 12 at this course in January. Remains with more still to offer now hurdling over this longer distance.
|
Well held in a Limerick bumper on Rules debut back in July 2022. Placed in points subsequently, but has made little impact over hurdles in 2 starts for her current yard. Looks to be up against it.
|
Winning Irish pointer but yet to complete in 3 outings over hurdles, though was still in contention when hampered and unseated rider before 3 out at Ludlow on the first occasion. Could yet be capable of better with cheekpieces applied (has had wind op).

Forecasts
Lightening Mahler (11/8), Moonlit Potter (15/8), Bluella Bresil (10/3), Von Hallers (25/1), Muriel May (25/1), Love Of Neymore (28/1), Chooch (28/1), Lady Harriett (80/1), Most Agreeable (250/1), Newmill Moll (250/1)
Having made a bright start to her career LIGHTENING MAHLER disappointed at Warwick in January, but she is well another chance having had a breathing operation since last time. The Dan Skelton-trained mare can get the better of Moonlit Potter, who overcame trouble when making a winning hurdling debut, with Bluella Bresil also considered.
- Moonlit Potter15/8
- Bluella Bresil10/3
