13/8
Bumper winner who was runner-up for seventh time over hurdles on her Stratford reappearance. Again found just one too good in a handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) next time and, likely to benefit from this drop back in trip, she's a key player off the same mark returned to this sphere.

Handles testing ground well and improved when making all in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) in January. Seventh-fence faller on chase debut here when last seen 8 months ago and she's entitled to come on for the run.

Won 2½m Hereford handicap hurdle in January 2024 and even better form when narrowly denied at the same venue 13 months later. However, she has followed that with a couple of low-key performances and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Runner-up only start in points and appeared to be gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles last season, finishing second in a 7-runner contest on handicap bow here (2½m, good to soft) when last seen in March. Has undergone a wind op ahead of this return/chase debut.

Opened hurdles account here (2½m, good to soft) last November and, though more miss than hit since, she is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark.

Signs of ability in bumpers, but little impact since switched to hurdles and she will probably come up short once more, unless the addition of cheekpieces works the oracle.

Forecasts

Followango (13/8), Lady Harriett (13/8), Somethingtosomeone (11/2), Another Pearl (10/1), Walkinthecotswolds (14/1), Hellfire Princess (22/1)

Verdict

Point/bumper winner FOLLOWANGO has yet to taste success from 14 starts over hurdles/fences, but she has finished in the money more often than not and, with a fitness edge over the other main protagonists, the 7-y-o could prove hard to peg back. Provided that her jumping passes the test, Somethingtosomeone could have a say on this chase debut, while Lady Harriett, though not the most consistent of types, is also in with a shout.
