starsportsbet.co.uk Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Fair form in bumpers and posted best effort in this sphere when second of 8 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at this course (17.7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Likely contender.

Still looking for first success but acquitted herself well when third of 9 on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 37 days ago. Claims if able to build on that. Had wind operation.

Showed just poor form over hurdles for J. D. Motherway in 2019/20 and not seen under Rules since pulled up for this yard at Southwell last summer.

Fair form shown in bumpers and made more impact than previously over hurdles when runner-up in Taunton handicap (16.5f) in January. Ran no sort of race at Hereford next time but could well bounce back here. Had wind operation.

Fair winner in bumpers who shaped nicely, back from 3 months off, when sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago. Merits consideration back handicapping here.

Yet to trouble the judge under Rules and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.

Fair maiden on the Flat. Not landed a blow thus far over timber but remains open to improvement on handicap hurdle debut and is worth monitoring in the market.

Showed she can make an impact from a basement mark when second of 7 on her Fontwell handicap debut/reappearance in November. That form isn't great but she remains low mileage and must enter calculations.

Little form in mares' novice hurdles and failed to complete in handicaps all starts this year. Best watched. 1 lb out of the weights.

Irish point winner who posted her best effort over hurdles when fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this course (17.7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Not certain to repeat that effort but warrants respect nonetheless. 1 lb out of the weights.
