Each The Nook Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Made the frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points. Only modest form over hurdles, including beaten 16 lengths when fifth of 13 on 19f Stratford handicap debut 15 days ago. Has a first-time hood added to tongue tie now. Early days but needs improvement.

Runner-up over 2m here and at Plumpton earlier this year but latest third back at Plumpton was a bit disappointing. Tries a longer trip now.

Hexham bumper winner in October. Well held in 3 novice hurdles (remote third over C&D first occasion) but could prove a different proposition in handicaps back from a 10-week break (had breathing operation). Market confidence would look significant for in-form stable.

Poor maiden on the Flat but has shown an aptitude for hurdling when reaching the frame in mares maidens at Newcastle and Market Rasen this spring. Handicap debut.

Hit the frame for the fifth consecutive handicap start when fourth of 9 at Plumpton (2¼m, good to soft) 29 days ago. Won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces.

Fair maiden who ran one of her better races when second of 6 over 21f at Plumpton in March but ran no sort of race back there over Easter. Cheekpieces go on.

Showed potential in first 2 hurdle starts but hasn't threatened in 2 handicaps this spring, including with a tongue tie added at Plumpton (2¼m, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Still early days for top stable but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Poor maiden who ran up to her best when third of 8 in handicap at Plumpton (21f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Has experience around here and each-way claims.
