Spa Motors Hereford Novices' Handicap Chase

Winning hurdler who built on promise of her debut in this sphere when scoring at Market Rasen in November. Another solid effort when runner-up at Southwell the following month before shaping as if still in good form on heavy ground at Ffos Las. Shortlist material.

Showed improved form to get off the mark at Uttoxeter (22.2f, heavy) in last December. That was a weak race, however, and she offered little after a year off both starts this term. Makes chase debut.

Fair maiden hurdler who added to a patchy record at Ffos Las 12 days ago. Makes chase debut.

Maiden pointer who posted easily his best effort in this sphere when second at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Backed that up when fourth there next time and goes chasing now (maiden pointer).

Had fallen a long way in the weights (still 2 lb out of the handicap) when recording a first career success on stable debut in a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Exeter. Not in same form next 2 starts, though, remote second back chasing at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago.
