Showed something far more akin to her Flat form at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when taking a Southwell novice last time out over 2m4f (first-time cheekpieces). More needed under a penalty with the headgear having to work again.
Dual Irish point-to-point winner from a decent jumping family on the distaff side of her pedigree. Wind op prior to Rules debut at Stratford (wore tongue-tie) in a bumper, showed some ability (better for run), hurdles debut.
Some fair bumper form to her name (ran respectably in two Listed events in that sphere), has looked fairly ordinary so far over hurdles (pulled up last time). Jumping needs to have improved during a break, may be helped by some better ground.
Well found in the market in her three Irish bumpers (started favourite on debut) for Willie Mullins, showed only modest form in those. Similar story over hurdles for this yard, will appreciate this longer trip, may be one for handicaps later.
Four-time French Flat winner at up to 14.9f (4-19 overall), showing some fairly useful form on the level. Related to jumping winners (half-sister to fair hurdler Something Brewing), looks just the type this in-form yard do well with, one to note.
Returns from wind surgery for her third hurdles effort having shown very little in two outings so far separated by a seven-week break. Did slightly better when last seen but hard to see her making an impact here on the evidence so far.
Promised very little from her initial hurdles effort behind Break The Rules at Southwell (started 33-1), turning in a rather moody effort. Related to winners (family rather temperamental), may be best watched for now.
Hurdles debut having shown glimmers of promise in amongst the inexperience in a couple of bumpers late last year in testing conditions. Still looked a little awkward last time (amateur ridden both starts), may show more over this longer trip.
Went the wrong way from her bumper debut when she finished a fair second when not much was seemingly expected having started 40-1. Well held in her three hurdles starts that early promise is now a distant memory, best watched.
Looked of little account on the Flat, tried in minor events/handicaps at up to 1m6f. Little better on her one hurdles start so far, soon behind and finishing well beaten, hard to see how she gets involved even after a recent Flat spin.
Forecasts
Bit On The Side (13/8), Break The Rules (11/4), Coulonces (11/4), Achy Breaky Heart (10/1), Teme Spirit (25/1), Missthecuddles (25/1), Quik Shift (28/1), Blue Jacaranda (33/1), Frilly Frock (50/1), Yasmin From York (250/1)
Not a deep race with plenty of these having some question marks against their aptitude/ability over hurdles. COULONCES showed some good form on the Flat in France over staying trips winning four times and given her pedigree looks set for a similarly successful time over hurdles. Joined a yard adept at getting the best out of her plus they have started the season well (already have six winners on the board). Break The Rules has a penalty to carry but this isn’t a strong event and she offers the main danger after her Southwell win. Bit On The Side ought to have a future over hurdles but does need to jump better to be competitive. Blue Jacaranda one other to note in this.
