Winner of a Southwell maiden in December 2021 and consistent in handicaps since, finishing a good third of 12 at Ffos Las 15 days ago. Likely to go well again.
|
Placed in mares' maiden/novice on first 2 outings over hurdles. Hasn't reproduced that in 2 handicaps since (C&D latterly) but it's clearly still early days and it's possible first-time blinkers could give her a lift.
|
Point winner who has made steady progress over hurdles, finishing 5 lengths second on 3m Newbury handicap debut last month. Thereabouts if in similar form.
|
Bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in 2½m Ffos Las handicap 15 days ago. Raised 8 lb but she's still quite low mielage and it's possible there could be more come now moving up to 3m.
|
Successful at Southwell off a 3 lb lower mark last summer and back to that sort of level when second in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted.
|
Runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts in bumpers and best effort over hurdles when filling the same position on handicap bow at Uttoxeter (2½m) in December. Not in the same form both starts since but this trip could suit her.
|
Runner-up in a point. Has yet to better modest form over hurdles but it's possible she needed the run after 14 months off when sixth of 7 on her 20.5f Huntingdon handicap debut 7 weeks ago. Still early days for top stable.
|
First form when fifth of 15 on Exeter handicap debut (21.5f, heavy) in January but faded into a distant fourth at Hereford since. 10 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts
Brianna Rose (9/4), My Girl Katie (11/4), Spitfire Girl (6/1), Atjima (13/2), She's So Lovely (13/2), Kentford Mallard (11/1), Fancy Your Chances (22/1), Elfride (28/1)
BRIANNA ROSE should benefit form the return to 3m and is taken to gain reward for her recent consistency. Atjima, a winner at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago, and Newbury runner-up My Girl Katie head the dangers in quite a competitive mares' event.
