Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 111

5/6

Now 0-10 over hurdles but she has shown decent form in defeat, notably when second in a listed contest at Aintree in December. Mid-field in another listed event at Doncaster in January and she won't get many better opportunities to open her account.

Forecasts

Calico (5/6), Luminous Light (9/4), Snapius (10/3), Heather Bear (8/1), Montys Rock (40/1), Vengaboy (40/1), Carslake (50/1), Junot (50/1), Western Model (50/1), Vector Belle (50/1), Chilled Out (66/1), Gabbys Girl (80/1), Dgalwaygallivantor (100/1), Carlton Gardens (125/1), Brush Roscoe (150/1)

A serious case of quantity over quality, with Gordon Elliott's CALICO selected to belatedly open her account having been placed on numerous occasions. Luminous Light, Snapius and hurdling-debutante Heather Bear look the main dangers in that order.
