6/5
Dual runner-up in novice/maiden hurdle company (form looks solid) and was all set to get off the mark when falling 2 out in a novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) at the beginning of July. Has been given time to get over that and she could prove hard to beat if returning in similar form.

Close second only start in points and much improved from hurdling debut when third in mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) in July, the two that beat her franking the form subsequently. Fell at the fifth at Market Rasen 19 days ago but remains open to improvement with Sean Bowen now aboard.

Hit the frame in a trio of bumpers earlier this year but the form doesn't look anything out of the ordinary. Ran to a modest level on hurdling debut following 12 weeks off when fourth in a Worcester novice (16f) 16 days ago but still early days and she's bred to appreciate this longer trip.

Second on hurdles debut at Wexford in May but sold cheaply out of the Eddie & Patrick Harty yard subsequently and couldn't match her debut form (following 3 months off) when a well-beaten fourth on stable debut at Market Rasen (20.7f) last month. Remains to be seen if she can get back on track.

Soldier of Fortune filly is bred to improve with age and shaped accordingly when fourth of 5 in a bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) on debut 52 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

50/1
Hinted at ability in bumpers and did so again on hurdles debut when a well held fifth in a 7-runner maiden at Newton Abbot (18.5f), not given anything like a hard time. Looks the type to better in handicaps in time.

Forecasts

Herja (6/5), Lipstick Traces (11/4), Kottayam (10/3), Voodoo Angel (13/2), Yanka Blue (50/1), Spent A Fortune (200/1)

Verdict

HERJA has solid form in similar company and would have got off the mark but for falling at Bangor in June. She's been given time to recover and may well gain compensation if arriving in similar form. Kottayam posted a promising effort when third on hurdles bow and rates the main danger if none the worse for her tumble last time out, while Lipstick Traces is bred to be suited by this longer trip and could yet have more to offer.

  1. Herja6/5
