Encouraging start to her career when runner-up in a Fakenham bumper. Easily best effort over hurdles since when second of 8 in maiden at Market Rasen (20.5f, good) in first-time hood (retained) 15 days ago, although she was rather outbattled. Handicap debut.
|
Found improvement when making a winning reappearance in 2m course handicap (good) last month. Laboured display at Uttoxeter since but perhaps the return to Worcester will spark a revival.
|
Modest form at best in 5 hurdle starts in Ireland for David O'Brien, including a handicap, but did manage a point win there. Fitted with cheekpieces now starting out for Neil Mulholland after 9 months off. Cheekpieces go on and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.
|
Placed on 2 of 4 starts in Irish points and left low-key maiden/novice form well behind when second on handicap debut over 3m at Newcastle in April. Well held at Fontwell next time but quickly back to form when fourth of 16 at Uttoxeter (23f) last month. Tongue tie tried and much respected.
|
Matched previous best when third on 17f Newton Abbot handicap debut but has followed that with 2 poor runs. Hard to know what to expect. Has had a breathing operation.
|
Winner over 25f at Plumpton back in October 2023 but lightly raced since, finishing seventh of 16 back from a year off at Uttoxeter last month. Needs to have come on a lot. Yard also runs Quick of The Night.
|
No show in a couple of points and safely held all 3 starts over hurdles. Plenty to prove on switch to handicapping.
|
Poor maiden who fared no better for cheekpieces in a 2m maiden here 11 days ago. More chance back in a handicap but still opposable again.
|
Placed in 2m handicaps at Ludlow and Ffos Las in the spring but her run of good form came to a halt when down the field over 2m here last month. Goes back up in trip in a bid to bounce back.
|
Poor form for Chris Grant, including in handicaps, and remote third back in maiden company at Market Rasen on her first outing for Max Comley. More realistic chance now returning to a handicap.

Forecasts
Dear Dot (7/2), Ballyhiho (4/1), Formel Park (9/2), Quick Of The Night (6/1), Last Note (15/2), Stamina Chope (9/1), Weir Lane (12/1), Darcy's Glance (12/1), Ghost Jury (22/1), Sea Thrift (28/1)
BALLYHIHO has shaped quite well in 2 of her 3 handicaps and now tongue tied, might prove the answer to a race where few arrive with compelling claims. Neil Mulholland's new recruit Weir Lane will rate a threat if the betting suggests she's fancied, while Formel Park should also have a say if she can bounce back to the form she showed when placed twice in the spring.
- Ballyhiho4/1
- Weir Lane12/1
- Formel Park9/2
