Ended 2024/25 with EBF Mares' Final success at Newbury and running consistently well this season, forced to switch late when second of 9 in 19f handicap hurdle at Chepstow last month. Another bold showing is on the cards.
|
Started the season with handicap wins at Bangor and Ascot but fitted with cheekpieces when below par in Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle at Doncaster and listed event at Kelso last 2 runs.
|
Returned with success in 17f Carlisle handicap in November but only twice raced since and below par, beating just two in 19f Chepstow handicap last month.
|
Winless this season under both codes and she's been off since a below-form fifth of 10 in 21f handicap hurdle at Ludlow in February. Cheekpieces go on now.
|
Capitalised on a reduced mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) in February. Had the run of the race there so more is required from a 4 lb higher mark.
|
Confirmed earlier promise when easily landing a gamble in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (2½m) 23 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but she merits serious consideration.
|
Dual C&D winner who got right back on track when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 26 days ago. A likely player nudged up 1 lb.
|
Point/hurdles winner who is knocking on the door again, runner-up for the fourth time this season in 3m Ascot handicap 25 days ago. Can go well once more.
|
Scored at Hexham in October and largely in good form subsequently, second of 15 in 21f handicap at Newbury last month. Up 4 lb here though.
|
Course winner but yet to score this season and she didn't find as much as expected when fourth of 7 in handicap at Fakenham (2½m) in January. Back from a break here.
|
Low-mileage 6-y-o made a winning return at Sedgefield in November. Failed to see her race out after 3 months off when third of 4 in 21f handicap at Ayr last month but should strip sharper here.
|
Points winner but she proved a disappointment on her handicap debut when sixth of 9 at Chepstow (19f) last month. Not the easiest of rides and cheekpieces go on now.

Forecasts
Pismo Beach (4/1), Service Minimum (11/2), Siog Geal (11/2), Crazierthandaisy (6/1), Pretending (15/2), Hard Dealt (8/1), Rockola Vogue (10/1), Audacious Annie (14/1), Keep On Cobbling (16/1), Rula Bula (16/1), Greyval (20/1), Country Mouse (25/1)
SERVICE MINIMUM scored with plenty in hand when landing a big gamble at Bangor recently and can defy a hefty rise in the weights here at the chief expense of Siog Geal, who could be set for second spot once more. Crazierthandaisy and Hard Dealt both arrive in very good order too and can also have a say in this competitive handicap.
