PricedUp Boosts And BOG Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Heavy-ground C&D winner (1-1) who is fairly consistent for one at this level. Ended a 2-year losing run in 4-runner event at Newcastle (3m, good) prior to finishing mid-field in a stronger event at Hexham in May. Well backed on reappearance last season and effectively dropping into a 0-95 here.

Cost £70,000 after winning sole start in Irish points. Runner-up in course maiden (20.5f) this time 2 years ago. Likely needed her comeback at Ffos Las (2½m) last month. Longer trip/first-time cheekpieces should suit and opening mark looks reasonable if back on song (yard still in good nick).

Placed in maiden hurdles at Worcester/Uttoxeter prior to disappointing (jumping not up to scratch) at Stratford (18.5f) in late-August. Step up in trip likely to suit (bred to stay well), however, she likely needs a career best to defy her opening mark.

Maiden who has proved expensive to follow. Hit the frame for the sixth time in last 7 starts when beaten 8½ lengths fourth (third won next time) at Ludlow (3m) in May. Dropped another 1 lb and has run well fresh previously.

Lightly-raced maiden from top yard. Showed her first form when 1½ lengths second of 5 in first-time cheekpieces at Plumpton (25f) last time, no impression on progressive winner who'd dictated. Still unexposed as a stayer and solid claims to get off the mark on third handicap start.

Point/bumper winner who made a successful return to hurdling at Musselburgh in December. Form of her subsequent second at the same track is solid, and she should be spot on for this following a keen-going fourth on return at Perth (3m) in late-September. Looks one of the more likely winners.

Both career wins have come at this track. Found some form back over hurdles when 6 lengths behind It's Maisy at Newcastle (3m) in April. She'll need to build on that to add to her course tally, though is another who ran well on reappearance this time last year.

Low-mileage stayer. Off the mark under a good-value amateur at Newton Abbot (3¼m) in September. Failed to progress any further when 13¾ lengths fourth of 8 at Hereford (3¼m) latest, not seeing things out as well as might have been expected. Work to do off same mark, even with claimer taking over.
