Fair form in bumpers when in Ireland. Matched than level on his hurdles debut for new yard when second of 4 in a Newbury maiden in February. Below that level in his 2 outings since but it's still early days for a capable yard.

Improved to make a winning reappearance for her new yard in an 18.5f course handicap last month. A 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her following up,

125/1
Dual ex-Irish hurdle winner during 2018/19 campaign but patchy form since, pulling up over a much longer trip on her recent return from a long absence. Remains to be seen whether a first-time tongue tie and visor combination makes any difference.

Has his quirks but ended a long losing run on the Flat in June and made a successful return to hurdles in a 2m Bangor handicap 3 weeks ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and respected under Brian Hughes.

Improved when second in a 2m Worcester maiden hurdle in May. Well beaten in similar company back there since but less exposed than most of these now handicapping.

Modest bumper winner who stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when second in maiden at Ffos Las in May. Failed to back that up when a well-held sixth in a Worcester handicap since. Others more persuasive.

Just one win from 24 starts and there wasn't enough in his latest effort at Worcester to suggest his turn is near again.

Remains a maiden after 36 runs. Finally showed some ability remains when third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month but only a well-held fifth at Uttoxeter since.

Poor form. including well held in 2½m handicaps last twice. The drop back in trip may help but others are more convincing.

Lady Gwen (10/11), Long Call (7/2), Urabamba (17/2), Herecomesfreddie (10/1), Up For Appeal (14/1), Indelible Spin (16/1), Deal Em High (18/1), Elusive Enemy (28/1), Al Kherb (33/1), Naasik (40/1), Daybreak Boy (125/1)

15:50 Stratford - 24 August 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

LADY GWEN could have more to offer for new trainer Kim Bailey and is selected to make light of a 3 lb rise for last month's course success. Recent Bangor scorer Long Call looks the obvious danger.
