Horse A-Z
Gentlewave mare who landed Plumpton bumper in May before making a winning start over hurdles in 5-runner novice here (19.1f, soft) 34 days ago, showing a good attitude. Well in the mix with more to come.
|
Timeform
Fair form shown when twice placed in bumpers so she needs considering now starting out in this sphere with a hood added.
|
Timeform
66/1, last of 14 in listed bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Lots more is needed from this El Salvador mare on her hurdles debut.

£7,500 3-y-o, Order of St George mare. Dam, fairly useful 2m-2½m hurdle winner, is also 1¼m-1½m winner who stayed 1¾m on Flat. Possibilities for this newcomer.

A fair maiden on the Flat for David Menuisier but well beaten in a pair of Lingfield maiden hurdles this winter. Needs a major step forward.
|
Timeform
Geordieland mare. Dam, ran once over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 2½m) Grand Gold. Third on her sole start in point bumpers but she has failed to complete both starts in points. Betting can guide now going hurdling.
Timeform
Got off the mark at second time of asking in bumpers at Chepstow and made a promising start in this sphere when second of 10 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) last month. Major player here with improvement on the cards.
|
Timeform
Finished last home in both bumper outings for Mike Hawker and was pulled up on her hurdles bow at Wincanton (15f) for new yard 26 days ago.
|
Timeform
Jack Hobbs filly. Debut third in bumper at Wincanton in November but only seventh in similar company at Plumpton following month when carrying her head awkwardly. Goes over hurdles now.
|
Timeform
Telescope filly. Encouraging debut third in bumper at Ffos Las for Anthony Honeyball but off 12 months before coming in last of 5 in 15f maiden hurdle at Wincanton 16 days ago. In good hands but needs to take a big step forward.

Forecasts

Limerick Lass (1/1), Queen's Theatre (9/4), Aj's Diamond (5/1), Svelte Silhouette (14/1), Wassailing Along (20/1), Bunny Bee (25/1), Geordies Betty (33/1), Cast's Georgie (33/1), Ephyra (100/1), Mistress Fox (100/1)

Verdict

Anthony Honeyball's LIMERICK LASS shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Wincanton and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better here and add to her previous Chepstow bumper success. Stablemate and recent course winner Queen's Theatre appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of hurdling newcomers Aj's Diamond and Cast's Georgie.
