Fashionelle⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: F O'Brien

4/1

Runner-up twice in bumpers in 2023. Off 12 months, beaten just under 20 lengths when sixth of 11 on Market Rasen hurdle debut at the end of March. May come on for the run. Hard As Nails looks the yard first string but this one could still have a .

Form: 262/6-

Hard As Nails³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 99| D

4/7

Dual bumper winner who has been placed in mares' maiden/novice events over hurdles 10 months apart. Capable of better and leading claims here.

Form: 35/1132-

The Last Drop¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips

8/1

Modest form in bumpers, including when second in Ireland. Shaped as if in need of experience when fourth of 9 on 2m Warwick hurdle debut 16 days ago. May do better.

Form: 626-4

Trudie Glen¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/1

Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper last May. Not in the same form when last of 54 in a Catterick bumper 6 months later but she retains potential switching to hurdles after another break.

Form: 34-

Kuma Beach⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

80/1

Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle here this spring.

Form: 7-8

Low Tolerance³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

150/1

Big prices and no show in a Wetrherby bumper and Hexham juvenile hurdle on heavy ground this spring. Will need to be transformed by this switch to a quicker surface.

Forecasts

Hard As Nails (4/7), Fashionelle (4/1), The Last Drop (8/1), Trudie Glen (9/1), Darting Rose (12/1), Annie Don (12/1), Kuma Beach (80/1), Misting (100/1), Low Tolerance (150/1)

There looks to be less depth to the second division of this mares' maiden and it looks a good chance for HARD AS NAILS to make it third time lucky over hurdles. Dan Skelton's Trudie Glen more than hinted at promise in bumpers and is second choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Fashionelle.
