Runner-up both starts in bumpers during the spring and perfect start in this sphere when winning 8-runner mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in November. Gave best only late on when fourth in Newbury listed contest 26 days ago and she's a player back in calmer waters.
|
6-y-o mare who developed into a useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) bagging second success of 2023 at Ascot (2m) in July. Related to hurdle winners and feasible to think she can make her mark in this sphere now starting out for Alan King.
|
Point winner who made all only start in bumpers at Plumpton (17.7f) in April and back from 7 months off, offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in mares' novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) 26 days ago. Expected to build on that.
|
Ran to a fair level when second on debut in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) in June. Struggled to make an impact in stronger company at Cheltenham in 2 starts following a break and she's one to note in the betting now attentions switch to hurdling.
|
Promise in a couple of bumpers 6 months apart and encouraging start in this sphere when second of 7 in a C&D mares' maiden 5 weeks ago, sticking on well. Looks sure to progress.
|
Nicely-bred mare who matched previous best when making third start in bumpers a winning one at Taunton (16.5f) in April, leading final 100 yds. Good prospect now hurdling/following wind surgery for her leading stable.
|
Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who never figured on yard/hurdles debut in an Exeter novice (16.7f) 7 weeks ago, left behind in back straight. Can only be watched on the back of that.
|
Shirocco mare. Placed on her 2 last starts in points but low-key start on Rules debut for new yard when sixth of 7 in a C&D mares' maiden 5 weeks ago. Possible she'll be brought along with handicaps in mind.
|
Encouraging start when runner-up in bumper at Plumpton a year ago but below that level next time and she's not threatened either start in mares' novice hurdles this winter. Could be more of a handicap project.
|
Solid start when second in a bumper at Newbury this time last year but well held both starts thereafter in that discipline. Too free starting out for new yard when eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Hood goes on now.
|
Fair bumper performer who showed similar form on the Flat without winning for Sir Mark Prescott. Not real short-term promise to glean from her yard/hurdles debut fifth in a Lingfield mares' maiden 4 weeks ago and others more appealing here.

Forecasts
Walkadina (7/4), Bluey (3/1), Jena D'oudairies (3/1), Blazeon Five (17/2), Hello Cello (17/2), Everest (20/1), Solid Silver (33/1), Loud And Proud (33/1), Northern Symphonie (125/1), Lusso Milan (150/1), Kingston Joy (250/1)
Easy Uttoxeter scorer WALKADINA was far from disgraced when fourth in listed company at Newbury 26 days ago and, returned to calmer waters, she's fancied to make a bold bid to concede weight all round. Jena D'oudairies and Blazeon Five are a couple of interesting hurdling debutantes to consider, with Hello Cello another likely improver.
