Connies Hillt,p117
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Beau Morgan(5)| T: Nick Scholfield| OR:  89
Got off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt last May but has shown little in a bumper/novice hurdles so far this winter. However, switch to handicaps in her favour for a stable amongst the winners, so interesting if the market speaks in her favour with cheekpieces reached for.

Well held in bumper/novice hurdles but showed much more equipped with a tongue strap when runner-up on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) 17 days ago, unlucky to bump into one so far ahead of her mark. Interesting if she can build on that now.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR:  87
Maiden who has run well on 2 of her last 3 starts, looking set for better still for a long way when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 30 days ago. Up 2 lb on the back of that but she has a race of this nature within grasp on that evidence.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR:  85
Hinted at promise when reaching the frame in maiden hurdles at Ffos Las (15.8f) and Hereford (19.5f) but made little impact in handicaps to date. Mark sliding as a result but she's tough to assess at present.

Joined present yard from Laura Morgan having shown little and having been gambled on, never featured on stable/handicap debut at Leicester (4/1 fav) just over 4 weeks ago. Interesting to see if her supporters return from this unchanged mark.

Still looking for first success but posted another creditable effort when fourth of 13 in 19f Taunton handicap when last seen in November. Place possibilities off the same mark provided she handles forecast testing ground.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-7| J: Joe Anderson(3)| T: G Hanmer| OR:  70
Long-standing maiden who has showed no benefit following a second breathing operation. Sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (18/1) 17 days ago, running poorly again. First-time visor goes on but could only be considered if backed from falling mark.

Remains with little form and likely booked for another struggle from out of the weights back from 6 months off (has also had wind surgery). Engaged 4.25 Southwell Wednesday.

Forecasts

After Many Days (15/8), Kellebelle (3/1), Prairie Queen (7/2), Connies Hill (6/1), Natus Vincere (13/2), Liloo D'ores (25/1), Sweet Serene (50/1), Getarose (50/1)

Verdict

NATUS VINCERE never figured having been well supported on her respective yard/handicap debut at Leicester last month but she wasn't seen to anything like best effect and looks worthy of another chance from such a lowly mark with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. After Many Days surely has a race of this nature in her grasp and is feared most, with Kellebelle completing the shortlist.
