Successful only start in bumpers but didn't fulfill that promise over hurdles. However, this Irish point winner proved a different proposition sent chasing when scoring in novice handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) 4 days ago. The one to beat under a penalty.

Started the season off over hurdles for current yard, before running well returned to chasing when second in novice handicap at Taunton (16.1f) in January. Suited by the step back up in trip when going one better at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) last time and she's respected.

11/1
Remains a maiden and disappointing on first 2 starts over fences in November. Hasn't fared much better back hurdling last 2 outings, in first-time cheekpieces when tailed off at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) in January. Lightly raced in this sphere but she has work to do.

6/4
Point winner who won 2 mares' handicap hurdles in 2022 but has yet to show much in chases, absent 23 months prior to this season. Well held after another 3 months off at Fontwell (21.6f, heavy) 19 days ago and she looks to be up against it.

Forecasts

Taxus Baccata (11/10), Rock On Rita (6/4), It's Easy (8/1), Call Blue (11/1)

Verdict

A winner in Irish points, TAXUS BACCATA left her hurdles form behind when a 10-length winner on chasing debut at Plumpton 4 days ago and she looks to hold leading claims under a penalty. The biggest threat could come from It's Easy, who recorded a first success in Britain at Leicester on her latest outing.
