3A's Horse Box Hire And Sales Mares' Handicap Chase

Not the most reliable but encouragingly built on a sound hurdles run on penultimate start when running out a comfortable winner of mares' handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago. Very good rider's claim off-sets a chunk of her weight rise and the one to beat.

Still a maiden after 9 hurdle runs but most encouraging run when second back from 5 months off at Leicester (15.5f) in November. Operating below best in trio of starts since, so switch to larger obstacles needs to have positive effect.

From the family of Welsh Grand National winner Potters Corner but she failed to make an impact in 4 hurdle runs and fared no better for switch to chasing when fifth of 8 in handicap at Warwick (3m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go back on now.

Bounced back to form on back of a wind op when opening her account over hurdles here in December 2023. However, that very much a standout effort for this yard and she's been safely held all 3 starts returned to chasing so far this season.

Third both starts in Irish points in late 2022 but off a long time and limited promise in 3 hurdle runs during second half of last year. Switch to larger obstacles now handicapping needs to spark significant improvement.

Maiden hurdler who came in a well-held fourth of 6 on her belated return/yard debut in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in December and struggling some way out when well beaten on chasing bow in January.
