Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland and, having changed hands for €20,000, got off the mark on debut for this yard in a 2m Stratford maiden hurdle in July last year. Probably needed the run back from 8 months off on first hurdle run since at Worcester recently and this will reveal more.

Much improved when getting off the mark in 12-runner maiden hurdle at Ludlow (2m) in March. That was a weak race, though. and she wasn't in the same form on handicap debut here the following month. Off since.
|
All 3 career wins at Ludlow and proved as good as ever when runner-up in 7-runner handicap there (2m, good) in May. Wouldn't have been far away once more but for falling 3 out at Uttoxeter the following month and not disgraced back on the level at Southwell latest.
|
Winner of a Southwell bumper in May who built on hurdling debut promise to land 8-runner mares maiden at Newton Abbot (17f) 37 days ago. Arguably a bit fortunate to pip runner-up that day but the 3rd has franked the form since ahead of this switch to handicaps.
|
C&D winner who has slipped to a good mark on the pick of his form and is very much the type to bounce back quickly from a rare below-par effort at Newton Abbot (3¼m) last month back down appreciably in trip.
|
Easing in the weights but has been disappointing of late over fences. Cheekpieces refitted for first hurdles run in nearly 3 years.
|
Took advantage of a career-low mark on first start for current yard at Newton Abbot (2¼m) in July, suited by the way the race developed. Ran at least as well in defeat from a 5 lb higher mark when second over same C&D 3 days ago and should remain competitive.
|
Unreliable type for Seamus Mullins who took a step back in right direction for current yard with sixth of 14 in 2m handicap here in June. However, worryingly bled back over same C&D last time and faces a stiff task from 4 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts
Mi Sueno (11/8), Getmyfriend (4/1), Juggernaut (5/1), Miss Fedora (8/1), Dream Jet (12/1), T Or Coffey (12/1), Zucayan (16/1), Borna Gem (20/1)
JUGGERNAUT is a consistent sort who has slipped to a good mark on the pick of his form and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to a much shorter, so he's taken to bounce back from a rare below-par effort at Newton Abbot the previous month and register a third career win. Mi Sueno has made a good start for current connections and ought to remain competitive, with handicap debutant Getmyfriend also feared.
