Fifth on all 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter, showing promise on the first occasion. Unexposed now stepping up in trip for handicap debut. One to note in the betting.
|
Maiden but reached the frame in 2 handicaps in February and possibly failed to stay 3m at Chepstow latest.
|
Narrowly beaten by a subsequent winner at Worcester (2½m) last summer. Out of form when last seen in the autumn but back on the same mark as at Worcester if refreshed by a break. Gets the vote.
|
Long-standing maiden but runner-up twice in 2m course handicaps (both under Sean Bowen) since returning from a long absence. Also runner-up over C&D earlier in career. Has to enter calculations.
|
Best effort when second of 6 over C&D (heavy) 36 days ago, appearing to benefit from a return to front-running tactics. Claims if in similar form again.
|
Fair Flat winner. Failed to better poor form over hurdles in the autumn, including a C&D handicap, but it's still fairly early days with her in this sphere. First outing for 6 months.
|
Made a successful handicap debut at Taunton (19f) last spring but hasn't come close to adding to her tally this season.
|
Ran a bit better when seventh of 12 over this trip at Wincanton 4 weeks ago but has yet to seriously threaten in a handicap.
|
Hurdle winner in France. Yet to reproduce that form for David Pipe but ran better when keeping on from too far back for fourth at Wincanton (2½m, good) 3 weeks ago. Being eased another 2 lb can only help. Respected.

Forecasts
Neeps And Tatties (9/4), Cumhacht (3/1), Mancero (5/1), Spanish Dancer (5/1), Royal Rhythm (12/1), Jour D'orage (12/1), Forest Spirit (16/1), Lion Of The Desert (20/1), Whatmakes Honey B (25/1)
ROYAL RHYTHM might be worth chancing back from a break having dipped to the same mark as when narrowly denied by a next-time-out winner at Worcester last summer. Mancero caught the eye a bit when keeping on from too far back at Wincanton recently and is second choice ahead of Cumhacht, who has placed on all 4 visits to Ffos Las, and Neeps And Tatties.
