Poundland Foundation Proudly Supports Make-A-Wish UK Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Ran respectably back in this sphere when third in 6-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 38 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs considering off 1 lb lower.

Winner on Flat in 2020 and built on a promising hurdling debut (for Ellmarie Holden) when scoring in Taunton novice (16.5f) in February. Runner-up next 2 starts but proved to be a disappointment on Kempton handicap debut when last seen in May. Still early days but returns with something to prove.

On a long losing run but again ran creditably when third in 6-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 31 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Won this race 2 years ago and shaped encouragingly after 7 months off when fourth in 2m Worcester handicap in June. On a good mark and must enter calculations.

Modest maiden hurdler for Miss Kate McGivern in Ireland, again below form when ninth of 13 in handicap at Wexford (20.4f) 46 days ago. Needs to get back on track for new yard.

Gained her breakthrough win in mares' handicap here (21f, good) in May and returned to a similar level in first-time blinkers (retained here) when second at Stratford (18.7f) 17 days ago, staying on. Player if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Modest hurdler who shaped as if badly needing the run after 16 months off when well held at Worcester (23f) 34 days ago, weakening quickly home turn. Entitled to come on for that but others preferred.
