Made a successful switch to handicaps when winning in smooth fashion at Fontwell (19.1f) in October and backed that up with good second of 11 at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 65 days ago. 4 lb higher now but must enter calculations.
|
Won a C&D maiden and Plumpton novice (20.5f) last term and back to that sort of form when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 40 days ago, not ideally placed. Respected.
|
Confirmed promise of reappearance effort when taking 11-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 61 days ago. 6 lb higher now but further progress may be forthcoming.
|
Scored 3 times over hurdles last term but fell heavily early on at Chepstow in October and has been well below best in both outings since.
|
Bumper winner who bagged her second victory over hurdles when seeing off 6 rivals in C&D mares' novice (soft) in December. Remains relatively unexposed and merits consideration on handicap debut.
|
Better for return when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over fences at this course (23.8f) in October and back to that sort of form when second of 5 in handicap chase (8/1) over same C&D (soft) 63 days ago. Fairly treated, back hurdling, but this trip may be on the sharp side for her.
|
Still a maiden but showed the benefit of her reappearance when second of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, soft) on Boxing Day, giving the well-backed winner plenty to think about. 3 lb rise looks fair and another bold show is on the cards.
|
Yet to score for current yard and arrives on back of disappointing run over fences at Hereford (19f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Makes limited appeal returned to smaller obstacles here.

Forecasts
Sweet Magic (3/1), Looking As You Are (4/1), Baby Sage (4/1), Springs A Girl (11/2), Current Mood (11/2), Batwomen (6/1), River Robe (22/1), Majestic Jameela (25/1)
Preference is for SWEET MAGIC, who ran a cracker at Aintree last time and hails from a yard in fine form. Springs A Girl and Baby Sage rate the principal dangers.
- Sweet Magic3/1
- Springs A Girl11/2
