Horse A-Z
Bred to need time and distance and has shaped in kind when well held in a pair of Warwick novice hurdles.

Timeform
Got off the mark at the third time of asking in maiden points but has made little impact in a couple of starts under Rules for Suzy Smith and starts off for new yard here after a near 5-month absence.

Well-related Walk In The Park filly who made a winning start in bumper at Southwell in May. 2/1, shaped well when fourth of 13 in 2m Taunton maiden on her hurdling debut. Has more to offer, especially over this longer trip. Looks the one to beat.
|
Timeform
Evens, made a promising start when third of 12 in bumper at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. This Kayf Tara mare enters calculations now going over hurdles up in trip.
|
Timeform
€16,000 3-y-o, Mahler mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner Northofthewall, stayed 2¾m. Dam fair 2m hurdles winner. Third in an Irish point in January so she needs considering starting out in this sphere.
Timeform
€40,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde mare. Dam, made frame in French bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Dento des Obeaux. Leading when fell last sole start in Irish points in April 2024. Brings a fair bit of potential but the market can guide on her hurdling debut on her first run since.
Timeform
Point winner last May but she came in a well-held sixth of 11 in a 2m5f novice hurdle at Wincanton on her Rules debut in January. Could still do better.

16/1 and tongue tied, took a step forward after 11 months off when fourth of 9 in 2m5f novice hurdle at Huntingdon 24 days ago. May do better still with the headgear retained.
|
Timeform
Yet to offer much in a pair of bumpers and novice hurdles, coming in a remote fifth in 2m novice hurdle here 30 days ago. Goes back up in trip with plenty to find.
|
Timeform
Winning pointer but tailed off in novice at Southwell (2m, soft) on her hurdles debut 13 days ago. Significantly more is required.
|
Timeform
Pulled up on her sole start in points last spring and again on her hurdling debut in novice at Newbury 26 days ago.

Forecasts

Eremenko (4/5), Fern Gully (7/4), Jolissaint (8/1), Polkaface (16/1), Camshaft (33/1), Good Girl Rachel (33/1), Poet's Muse (50/1), Snow Is In The Sky (50/1), Dancing Sky (66/1), Stavanger Rose (100/1), Roberta Bishop (100/1)

Verdict

Little strength in depth to this maiden and EREMENKO looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to build on a promising hurdling debut fourth at Taunton and add to her bumper success. Fern Gully shaped well when a debut third in a Uttoxeter bumper and appeals as the one to give Nicky Henderson's mare most to do now going hurdling. Good Girl Rachel and Polkaface appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
