Join 'Windsor Blue' Race Club Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Thrived over hurdles/fences after joining this yard last year, completing the 4-timer when taking a small-field handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) in March. Ran right up to best when second of 5 in handicap chase at Kempton (18f, good) when last seen 9 months ago and warrants repect on return.

Scored 4 times last season and got off the mark in this campaign when taking C&D handicap in December. Posted creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good) since and remains feasibly treated.

Bumper winner at the fourth attempt and promise on both completed starts over hurdles for Paul Nolan. Shaped well when fourth of 12 in novice at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on return for new connections 26 days ago and must enter calculations on handicap debut.

Well treated on peak form and has made the frame all 3 starts since returning from a break/wind op, most recently when creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Bumper/hurdle winner in 2024. Back from 14 months off when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 30 days ago and ought to be straighter for that run. Respected.

Winner of juvenile hurdle at Dieppe (16.9f) and runner-up in Class 1 listed juvenile over same C&D. Bought for €60,000 from George/Zetterholm yard but yet to make an impact in a couple of outings for new yard, including on handicap debut at Newbury last month.

Returned to winning ways at Stratford (16.3f) in October but been rather a mixed bag since, never looking like getting involved at Taunton latest. Others are more convincing.

Acquitted herself well in handicaps the last twice, latest when fourth at Aintree (20f, good) 20 days ago. Still looking for first success, though.

Improved when opening her account in juvenile hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) in April 2024 and ran to similar level when solid second on return/handicap debut at Huntingdon this time last year. Disappointed at Taunton the following month but is worth monitoring in market on first outing since here.
