Pyoneer Ale Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Solid form when resuming winning ways here in December and stuck to her task well when length second to Magical Maggie at this track earlier this month. Step up in trip looks a positive on that evidence and she can go well again.

Split a couple of subsequent winners when fourth in a stronger race at Windsor and was strong in the betting before whipping round/unseating at the start last time. Game mare wouldn't be one to discount.

Likeable type capitalised on a career-low mark in bringing up a fourth course win here last time (21.2f), staying on well having helped force the pace with Masked Dance. 3m likely to be within range and she has solid claims to add to her fine course record.

Course winner has won her previous 3 starts over hurdles, the latest a smooth success in 5-runner handicap at Plumpton last month. More on her plate in better company, however.

Again proved a difficult ride when pulled up at Haydock last month and step up in trip may not suit given her free-going ways.

Didn't take to chasing but well-backed, quickly resumed progress returned to hurdles/positive tactics when successful in 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, driven out. Up in grade but could have untapped potential back over 3m.
