Maiden pointer who showed a bit when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft, 16/1) on debut 47 days ago, carrying head awkwardly from 2 out and unable to sustain effort.

Promise in her qualifying runs over hurdles, not ideally placed after 6 months off when third in maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in November. Didn't see things out upped in trip on her completed start since, but obvious player back in maiden company returned to 2m.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Harry Eustace (stays 2m), successful once in 2024, good second last time. Notable hurdling debutant in the context of this race.

Little to shout about in 3 bumpers runs but her pedigree suggests she could do better now switched to hurdling.

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m). Stepped up on hurdling debut form when third in 8-runner juvenile at Kempton (2m) in November. Good claims. Has had a breathing operation.

Forecasts

Irish Chorus (11/10), Plus Point (2/1), Our Lil (4/1), Polkaface (20/1), Generous Scorpion (22/1), Keep On Cobbling (33/1), Annie Don (40/1), The Pit Popsy (200/1)

Verdict

IRISH CHORUS shaped perfectly fine behind 2 above-average ones at Uttoxeter back in November and is well worth another on that form now returning to 2m. Our Lil is an obvious threat, with Plus Point an interesting hurdling debutante given her fairly useful Flat form.
