Meet, Connect, Network On Agriculture Raceday Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Dual bumper winner who looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to make a successful hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m) last October. That makes her 2 subsequent efforts a little disappointing but still early days and the stable couldn't be in much better form. Cheekpieces are added.

Third hurdle success when shading a tight finish in 21f Ludlow handicap in February. Respectable fourth back there later that month. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 8 months off.

This veteran was better than ever last season, winning 4 of her last 5 starts (including a 2m success here). Returns off a career-high mark but she has gone well fresh before.

Runner-up in an Irish point in February. Only a modest third on her Ffos Las hurdle debut in April but left that form behind to strike at Worcester (2m, good to soft) 6 months later. Totally unexposed and this slightly longer trip should suit now handicapping.

Much improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when scoring over 2½m at Ffos Las (good to soft) 16 days ago. Had enough in hand to think she can cope with a 6 lb rise.

Largely reliable sort who landed 2½m Sedgefield handicap in September. Below-par third there next time but quickly back on form when 4 lengths second of 8 at Bangor (19.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago.
