Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares' Handicap Chase

Third in similar races over 21f here this winter. Beaten 23 lengths when second of 4 in 25f Wincanton handicap 3 weeks ago. First-time blinkers replace her regular cheekpieces.

It's now 15 runs since her last win in 2024, which came over hurdles. Best effort over fences when third at Newcastle last month but let down by her jumping when a well-held fourth at Southwell 12 days ago. First attempt over 3m.

Hasn't hit the target for a while but she runs more good races than bad ones, including placed on all 4 completed starts this season. Can resume winning ways.

Won a 21f course chase last May and back to winning ways in a 23.5f hurdle here a week ago. Runs off the same mark back chasing so ought to go well again.

Wide-margin winner of a match race in this contest last year and might have landed a second C&D success in October but for a late unseat (length ahead at time). Well beaten on recent return from a 5-month break but she might be sharper with the outing behind her.
