Lycetts Insurance Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Scorpion mare. Dam maiden pointer. Unplaced on sole outing in points in December. Watch for market clues with yard capable of readying one.

Point winner who was runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. After 16 months off, some promise in a Leicester seller on hurdling debut in December, though pulled up in novice at Southwell 17 days ago. Has work to do dropped in trip.

Scored decisively in bumper at Warwick last spring before shaping as if in need of the experience on hurdling debut in October. Reportedly bled when well-beaten fifth of 8 in novice at Huntingdon the following month but she could be worth another chance after a break.

Down the field all 3 starts in bumpers.

Third in bumper for Margaret Mullins on debut but failed to progress in 2 starts for Harry Fry and offered little starting out for this yard switched to hurdles after 16 months off.

Runner-up both starts in Irish points. However, well beaten in a Huntingdon bumper and C&D novice hurdle.

Placed all 4 starts over hurdles in Ireland and good third in maiden at Taunton on second run for current yard. Has found things tougher off inflated mark in handicaps the last twice and major player back in a maiden with tongue strap added.

Runner-up in a seller on the Flat but has shown little in 3 starts over hurdles.

Bred for the Flat and made a discouraging start when pulled up in junior hurdle at Hereford 25 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Sent off at big odds (50/1) first time up and was tailed off in bumper at Stratford in October.

Bit of promise when fifth of 15 in academy hurdle at Leopardstown on debut for Ciaran Murphy but disappointed starting out for this yard at Hereford. Remains with potential.

Bred for longer trips and shaped accordingly sent hurdling at Ludlow last month.
