Showed ability in 2 bumpers. Translated that to hurdling when second in small-field Leicester maiden (2m) in November but hasn't come close to repeating that form in 3 starts since (beaten 20 lengths when third latest). Handicap debut.
|
Placed twice in maiden hurdles for Patrick Neville last summer but pulled up in 2 handicaps for Dylan Cunha in the autumn. Returns from a 6-month break (has had a breathing operation) under the care of another new trainer.
|
Long-standing maiden but has posted good runner-up efforts in handicap hurdles around 2½m on 4 of her last 5 starts. Another prominent showing is likely for a stable no stranger to success in this race.
|
Modest maiden on the Flat and over hurdles. Well beaten in her first handicap over hurdles 3 weeks ago and needs the refitting of a visor she's worn on the Flat to have a positive effect.
|
Eighteen-race maiden. Below form in 2 comeback outings this spring (beaten just under 25 lengths into fourth last time) and it's likely the wait for a first win will go on.
|
Placed in novice hurdles around 2m on good ground last spring. Best effort in handicaps since when fourth of 13 over 21.5f at Exeter in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 15 days ago. That gives her something to build on.
|
Just minor promise in 4 starts for Clive Boultbee-Brooks last season and no significant impact in 2 handicap hurdles for Robbie Llewellyn last summer. Best watched back from 9 months off unless the betting hints otherwise.
|
Multiple point winner in 2024 and belatedly opened Rules account when landing a 3m Huntingdon handicap chase in first-time cheekpieces in March. Backed that up when second over 3¼m at Plumpton a fortnight later. Shorter trip back hurdling but has to be respected in her current mood.
|
Runner-up in an Irish point but only poor form under Rules, merely plugging on for a never-dangerous fourth over 3m at Warwick on her completed start in handicap chases in recent months. Not an obvious one back hurdling but the stable did win this race last year. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
|
Second in her sole Irish point. Poor form over hurdles but did make more of an impact than previously when third of 9 on 2¾m Stratford handicap debut 25 days ago.
|
Little promise in bumpers/hurdles around 2m but more realistic chance now handicapping over a trip which is bred to suit. Worth a look in the betting.

Forecasts
After Many Days (3/1), Klervia (10/3), Imperial Pride (11/2), Jessie's Giant (13/2), Shes All Pride (8/1), La Cantate (11/1), Wishful Wings (16/1), Jlow (16/1), Lady Dapple Rose (18/1), Slack Alice (20/1), Kottayam (25/1)
Perhaps this is the time when AFTER MANY DAYS finally gets off the mark. Imperial Pride will be a danger if she can translate her recent good chase form back to hurdles, while Klervia was having only her second outing for the Fergal O'Brien stable when fourth at Exeter a couple of weeks ago and it's possible she could build on that now.
- Imperial Pride11/2
- Klervia10/3
