11/1
Fair form when twice placed in bumpers. No impact over hurdles and an AW Flat novice since but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance. All the more interesting if backed.

Won back-to-back around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor last summer. Recorded creditable placed efforts over 25f when last seen in the autumn but might be best watched down significantly in trip and minus her usual cheekpieces back from 5 months off.

Won 2½m Uttoxeter maiden in November and back on form when runner-up twice in 2½m course handicaps in January. Would have been closer but for a late mistake when fourth at Taunton (19f) last time and still in good form. Needs considering.

9/4
Built on July's Uttoxeter second when returning from 4 months off to win a C&D handicap (good) in November, quickening clear from the last. Likely to go well on first outing since.

No impact in maiden/novice hurdles this winter but did show a bit in bumpers last season and no surprise were she to take a step forward now handicapping.

13/2
Dual winner over timber who showed benefit of reappearance run when respectable third of 15 over C&D (soft) in December. Well held on AW Flat since but can fare better back over timber.

40/1
Fair Flat winner in 2023. Yet to add to that in this sphere but not disgraced when sixth (East End Girl third) of 15 over C&D in December. Hampered and fell at Musselburgh since.

Seemingly hard to train and little obvious positives to draw from her 3 hurdle starts. Handicap debut.

Forecasts

Granny Hawkins (9/4), Gower Spirit (11/4), Celtic Queen (9/2), Land Girl's Luck (11/2), East End Girl (13/2), Miracles Do Happen (11/1), Now Then Wendy (40/1), Paradise Park (80/1)

Verdict

GRANNY HAWKINS was a smooth winner over C&D in November and might be able to cope with a rise in the weights if returning from a short break in similar form. Gower Spirit has produced some good efforts since the turn of the year (including here) and is second choice, while Tom Lacey's handicap newcomer Miracles Do Happen would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour.

  1. Granny Hawkins9/4
  2. Gower Spirit11/4
  3. Miracles Do Happen11/1
