Download The PlanetSportBet App Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Free-goer who was a good second over 3m at Doncaster in December. Looked all set to go one better when unseating her rider at the last at Catterick following month but pulled up with a breathing problem at Southwell next time. Back from 3 months off now.

Dual Irish point winner who will make up into a chaser. Fair form over hurdles and this sort of trip should suit on handicap debut.

Got off the mark over hurdles in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (19f, good to soft) in December, digging deep. Shaped as if still in good form at Huntingdon next time, an exceptionally wide trip perhaps taking its toll late on. Upped markedly in trip back from 3 months off now.

Irish points winner who landed weak 3-runner novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, 10/3) in November 2022. Pulled up at Wincanton (race run in thick fog) following month and absent since. Upped markedly in trip for handicap debut.

Emphatic winner on second run over fences at Exeter (3m) last month and good second to unexposed one back over hurdles there 3 weeks ago, the pair clear. Strong stayer and big shout up 4 lb.

Well held in bumpers/completed starts over hurdles (off 4 months, had breathing operation prior to latest run in handicap). Improvement needed.

Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Little form over hurdles but from a good family and starts out in handicaps at a low level.

Long-standing maiden who typically gives her running. Likely to give it another good go while proving vulnerable.
