11/2
Ran right up to her best, in first-time cheekpieces, when third of 18 in listed handicap hurdle (16/1) at this course (18f, heavy) last month. Remains on a workable mark and must enter calculations.

20/1
Pulled up in handicap chase (11/1) at this course (17f, good) 67 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before last. Switches from chase to hurdles. Needs a couple of these to falter.

4/1
Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Useful winner at 17f on flat. Creditable ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (18f, heavy, 11/2) 30 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to improve.

Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy) 42 days ago. Raised 8 lb since but another bold bid looks on the cards.

7/1
Confirmed promise of previous run when scoring at Limerick (19f) in December and posted creditable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (18f, heavy) since. One for shortlist.

Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. 28/1, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (18f, heavy) 30 days ago. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Maxios Prime (7/2), Shoda (4/1), Whimsy (11/2), Onefortheditch (7/1), Missus Beeton (15/2), Catchabird (8/1), Tequila Talkin' (9/1), Forceonmyown (12/1), Crescent Moon (20/1), Sarandon (22/1), Lumiere Du Large (22/1), Circus Act (80/1), Small Bucks (80/1)

Verdict

Preference is for MISSUS BEETON, who won in convincing fashion at Down Royal last time and still looks feasibly treated. Whimsy and Onefortheditch head the list of dangers.

  1. Missus Beeton15/2
  2. Whimsy11/2
  3. Onefortheditch7/1
