Half Year Annual Membership Now Available Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Joined this yard from Lucy Wadham in the summer and won over hurdles at Hereford in October. Not really built on that, though, and others appeal more.

Ended long losing run when taking 12-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Still feasibly treated, despite a 7 lb penalty, and is one for shortlist.

Posted career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 52 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and must enter calculations.

Confirmed promise of previous run when narrowly taking 12-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 20 days ago. Remains relatively unexposed and should give another good account.

Back from 9 months off when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good, 7/1) on debut for James Owen 63 days ago. Moved to new yard now and makes limited appeal.

Shaped as if needing run, back from 26 months off, when seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good, 12/1) 30 days ago. This outing should reveal more.

No real impact in first 2 starts in this sphere and was on retreat when coming down in novice hurdle at Doncaster when last seen in February. Makes handicap/yard debut.

Came close to shedding maiden tag when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 23 days ago. Since joined new yard and merits consideration.

Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23 but has found life tougher since. Took a step back in right direction when 2½ lengths fourth of 12 to Quick of The Night (16/1) at Worcester (16f, good) latest, though, and would be a player if building on that.

Largely creditable efforts in defeat since winning back-to-back handicaps here in July 2021. Beaten 21 lengths when fourth on debut for new yard at Plumpton in May but she's entitled to come on for that (first run for 12 months) and the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye.
