Traffic Management Mares' Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Showed ability in bumpers and improved efforts switched to handicaps in this sphere the last twice, fourth of 12 at Ffos Las (good) recently and likely to be in the mix off the same mark.

Successful on debut for this yard at Fontwell in summer 2022. Exploits mixed in handful of starts during 2023/24 campaign and she needs to hit the ground running back from 5 months off.

Off the mark at Worcester (20f) 13 months ago and, similar form in trio of starts since, creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f) 4 weeks ago. Rates a likely player eased back down in trip.

Bumper winner who got off the mark at the ninth attempt in this sphere when making all at Hexham (20.1f) in October. Disappointed on 2 of her next 3 starts but appeared to find the test too sharp (after 7 months off) when pulled up at Perth (16.2f) 19 days ago. This should reveal more.

Not at best during second half of last season but eased in weights as a result and she duly capitalised with a tongue tie added to usual hood when landing 7-runner mares' handicap at Southwell (20.4f) 17 days ago. A repeat gives her sound claims from 6 lb higher.

Fair Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 21f handicap at Sedgefield in November. Placed under both codes next 2 starts but she does need to shrug off a less er run when last of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (12f) 5 weeks ago. Visor refitted for return to hurdling.

Fair bumper winner who was far from disgraced equipped with a hood/tongue tie when second of 5 in mares' handicap at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March. Return to this longer trip won't inconvenience on return.

French import who hasn't offered a great deal in trio of hurdle starts since returning from a lengthy absence, albeit seemingly unsuited by the drop back to 2m at Hexham 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces reached for here.

Showed some ability on first of 2 starts in bumpers. yet to offer much over hurdles, though she's best forgiven her handicap debut effort at Ffos Las (23.9f) 4 weeks ago, having been badly hampered early on. Still, she's best watched at present.
