Fair winner at 2m for Dan Skelton last term and quick to make her mark for current yard with success in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) in January. Failed to complete on 2 of her 3 starts since over hurdles and attentions switch to chasing now.
|
Thrived in 2023, making it 4 wins (3 chase, 1 hurdle) when seeing off 6 rivals over fences at Worcester in July. Found listed company too hot on return over hurdles at Perth following 9 months off recently and this rates more suitable returned to larger obstacles. Interesting.
|
Made all at Hereford (25.2f) on return over C&D in November and not disgraced when runner-up following another wind op at Wincanton (25f) in March. Consistency not her strong point though, pulled up at Cheltenham 25 days ago.
|
Improved model over hurdles last summer, gaining a third victory at Worcester (23f, soft) in September. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth at Exeter (21.6f) on final start and worth a second look now chasing back from 6 months off.
|
Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who may of just found the test too much back from 4 months off on yard debut when fifth at Cheltenham (25.2f) 25 days ago. Still, it's possible he'll tighten up for that effort.
|
Consistent hurdler who lines up here having bagged a second chase victory over C&D 4 weeks ago, possible she'd of had to settle for a place but for 2 late fallers. However, 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent her going well again.
|
Runner-up at Taunton (21.7f) back from a break in February and shaped as if still in good form when stumbling and unseating home turn at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) a month later. Lesser display at Exeter has followed but not discounted if bouncing back returned to quicker ground.
|
Made a winning chase debut over C&D in November 2022 and ran well when second in corresponding race last term. Proved more miss than hit subsequently, so hopes pinned on return to this venue having positive effect.
|
Well held completed starts over hurdles but proved a different proposition on second chase start when landing 11-runner mares' handicap at Taunton (21.7f, soft) in March, drawing clear from 3 out. That wasn't a strong race but she remains less exposed than most.
|
Maiden over hurdles/fences but she again ran with credit when second in mares' handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Each-way possibilities again.
|
Unreliable type who scored at Uttoxeter in September but failed to back it up next 2 starts and percentage call to look elsewhere returning from 6 months off operating from 7 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts
Brianna Rose (5/2), Getbazoutofhere (7/2), Dicey Rielly (7/1), Do You Think (10/1), I Am Gonna Be (10/1), Annie Wicks (11/1), Whatsdastory (12/1), Ma Belle Noire (12/1), Shirocco's Dream (16/1), Royale Dance (16/1), Talkingthetalk (50/1)
It could just be worth siding with DICEY RILEY who boasts a good strike rate over fences and she ought to be all the better for her stiff reappearance assignment over hurdles at Perth 3 weeks ago. Whatsdastory, returned to a soundner surface, is another to consider, with Annie Wicks and the returning Ma Belle Noire, on chase debut, also worth a look.
- Dicey Rielly7/1
- Whatsdastory12/1
- Annie Wicks11/1
