Lightly-raced mare who built on reappearance effort when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 33 days ago. 5 lb higher now but remains with potential, particularly over this longer trip.
|
Prolific since joining James Owen, bagging a seventh win in a 2m claiming hurdle at Huntingdon in November. Below form more recently, though, and makes limited appeal.
|
Progressive in handicaps this season, winning at Ffos Las and Southwell and arrives on back of creditable second of 5 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 35 days ago. Others look better treated, however.
|
Lightly-raced point winner who landed the odds in Lingfield novice hurdle this time last year before advancing her form when runner-up on her handicap bow at Uttoxeter (19.9f) the following month. Clearly amiss on return (had wind operation since) and must be respected here.
|
Found improvement when scoring at Newcastle in December and upped her game further when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 47 days ago, kept up to work. 9 lb higher now but not taken lightly.
|
Not scored for some time but took a step back in right direction when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 22 days ago and figures off a handy mark.
|
Returned with a good Market Rasen second but hasn't really built on that since, well held second at Fakenham (20f, soft) latest. Others preferred.
|
Won both her starts last term and took her unbeaten record to three when making a winning return in 8-runner novice hurdle (7/4) at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) 80 days ago, driven out. Sent handicapping now and likely has more to offer.
|
Placed twice from 3 starts in bumpers and shaped encouragingly when second in mares' novice at Warwick on hurdling debut/return. Below that level at Ludlow since, though, and needs improvement to play a part on handicap debut.
|
Irish bumper winner who bagged maiden/novice hurdles at Warwick and Cartmel in May. Largely disappointed since, however, including here over Christmas. Hard to fancy.
|
Made a successful start to her career in a bumper last summer and off the mark at fourth attempt in this sphere when winning 5-runner novice hurdle (11/4) at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 23 days ago, driven out. Remains open to improvement on handicap bow.
|
Novice winner over 2m and 2½m last summer. Not really threatened in handicaps since but has dropped down the weights and this step back up in trip may well suit.

Forecasts
Madame Luna (11/4), Railway Bell (10/3), Just Her Type (6/1), Rosie Baloo (8/1), Snowrocco (9/1), Pretending (10/1), Looking As You Are (10/1), Presenting Doy (12/1), Service Minimum (18/1), Gaelic Saint (22/1), Mermaids Cave (33/1), Belle Le Grand (33/1)
RAILWAY BELL is going the right way and promises to be suited by this stiffer test of stamina. She gets the vote in what looks a competitive contest. Madame Luna and Snowrocco are feared most.
