Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 145

13/8

Enjoyed a fine campaign last term and returned with a smooth success in 2m Wetherby mares' listed event. Shaped as if still in form in face of a stiff task against the males here since. Sets standard.

Form: 1113-15

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: P Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 141| D

3/1

Twice a winner at listed level over hurdles, including when landing the odds at Kempton in November. Not disgraced in Grade 3 at Leopardstown since and can make her presence felt.

Form: 55-3816

11/4

Useful hurdler who ended her time with Declan Queally in top form, winning 2 of her last 3 starts, including when proving her stamina over this trip at Clonmel (later sold for £80,000). Big shout.

Forecasts

Molly Ollys Wishes (13/8), Western Victory (11/4), My Sister Sarah (3/1), Anythingforlove (6/1), Emmpressive Lady (16/1), Whitehotchillifili (25/1)

WESTERN VICTORY is as tough as they come and proved that she has stamina in abundance when ending her time with Declan Queally with a win at Clonmel in December. She should still have more to offer over this sort of trip and can make a winning start for new connections. Molly Ollys Wishes is the obvious threat back against her own sex.
