Summer Plate Ladies Day 18th July Handicap Hurdle

Modest form over hurdles and duly struggled from a stiff opening mark at Doncaster last month.

Dual juvenile hurdler winner for Adrian Keatley. Back on form when second in Newton Abbot selling handicap in September (only run for Daisy Hitchens) but well below that level in 4 outings for this yard since.

Steadily progressive in summer 2024, winning Fontwell juvenile on final start. However, well held both starts switched to handicaps this season after 15 months off.

Modest form in a pair of Flat outings for Amy Murphy and bettered hurdling debut form when winning a notably weak maiden at Fakenham. Predictably found it very hard going under a penalty at Fontwell since but should be more competitive on handicap debut.

Much improved of late but unable to complete the hat-trick after an 8 lb hike when fifth to Mr Zee at Wincanton 17 days ago but 6 lb better off with winner now.

Always behind on his only outing in bumpers and 3 starts over hurdles but type to do better now handicapping.

Experienced handicap hurdler who bounced back to form with a career-best win at Wincanton 17 days ago. Repeat of that will see him bang there again.

Modest 13f Flat scorer who ran one of his better races in this sphere when (blinkered first time) fourth at Ludlow but failed to back that up at Huntingdon since,
