Experience The Thrill With HotToTrot Racing Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Showed fairly-useful form when winning a 4-y-o chase in France. Has yet to come close to matching that on these shores, but rallied well when fourth over shorter trip in Exeter handicap hurdle earlier this month and could play a part here.

Yet to build on promising Exeter return in a trio of subsequent outings, including on handicap debut at same course latest. Tries longer trip now but others are more convincing.

Returned to best form when good second of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and holds leading claims.

Fair bumper winner for David Brace who performed with credit when runner-up on first 2 starts for this yard in mares' handicap hurdles last May/June. Back to that sort of form when creditable third at Huntingdon latest and must enter calculations here.

Dual winner in bumpers but yet to score in this discipline and last month's Plumpton return, albeit over an inadequate trip, wasn't particularly encouraging.

Found improvement when making a winning handicap hurdle debut here this time last year but lightly raced and not progressed since. Something to prove now.

Irish point winner but tailed off in a bumper and hasn't offered much in 4 starts over hurdles, including on handicap bow at Huntingdon earlier this month. Now tried in blinkers.

Opened account at Ffos Las in May but proved disappointing in both starts over the winter. However, looks on a workable for new connections and is worth a second look in the market. Cheekpieces on first time.

Had shown decidedly little prior to opening her account in a weak handicap hurdle at Leicester in November and rather gone backwards since.

Sole success came here in 2021 but has shown precious little more recently. Readily opposed from 6 lb out of the handicap.
