Testing ground could bring her stamina into play but drops back 6f following win here last time. 6lb penalty also makes life difficulty but is the only previous hurdles winner in the field so has to be respected.

Placed in two Ffos Las bumpers prior to weakening 2 out on hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month on first start for five months. Should strip fitter and better effort not ruled out.

Horse silk
13/8
Won Listed bumper in February 2017 then absent two years prior to fifth on hurdles bow at Huntingdon in January. Not seen again until decent fourth at Sandown recently. Big chance if building on that in first-time tongue-tie.

Won Stratford bumper for previous handler in 2018 and was second in Fontwell bumper this March on debut for current yard. Shown signs of ability in two starts so far over hurdles. Stable in fine form so worth noting any positive market move.
5
Horse silk
14/1
Won two and Listed placed in three starts on Flat in France. Pulled up on debut for champion trainer at Fakenham in October 2018 where found to have burst blood vessel. Promising fourth of 16 at Exeter last month on first start for a year.

Finished third in two hurdles at Uttoxeter this season. Every chance 2 out latest before fading on the run-in. This looks tougher but bold show cannot be ruled out.

150/1
Regressive maiden at up to 1m4f on Flat for a variety of handlers. Beaten a long way both starts so far over hurdles and hard to see her getting involved at this level.
Ran with some credit on both bumper starts without troubling the judge and out of luck on hurdles debut at Exeter where pulled hard and saddle slipped and duly pulled up before fourth. Needs to settle this time.
9
Horse silk
100/1
Placed in Southwell bumper this summer and has hinted at a little ability in two starts over timber so far. Much more needed here and looks type to do better once she goes handicapping.

Horse silk
9/1
Showed promise in two bumpers last season. Won Ludlow bumper on first start this campaign then followed up in style in Listed Cheltenham bumper last time. Hurdles bow here for yard in form and looks exciting prospect.
11
Horse silk
150/1
Mares maiden point winner in Ireland but hasn't done much since and has run badly all three starts since undergoing wind surgery in September. Very hard to fancy.

Promising start last December winning Southwell bumper on debut. Ran creditably in defeat in three subsequent bumpers, including at Grade 2 level. Favourite and third on hurdles bow at Ffos Las in October where lost three of four shoes. Interesting.

12:55 Wincanton - 26 December 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

This may turn out to be a decent event. Paul Nicholls has won it for the last two years and is represented by Lisa De Vassy, a filly who showed plenty of promise last time at Exeter. She should be in the thick of the action but preference is for DAPHNE DU CLOS who has been very lightly raced but shaped nicely at Sandown recently and now has a tongue-tie on to help her cause. Both Whitehotchillifili and Lily the Pink are worth looking at, while Urban Artist is a very serious contender bringing the best bumper form to the table. Kissesforkatie faces a stiff task back in trip under her penalty.
  1. Daphne Du Clos
  2. Urban Artist
  3. Lisa De Vassy
