Bumper winner who won 4 of her first 5 starts over hurdles, the highlight being the Grade 2 Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. That big effort may have taken the edge off her given she was brushed aside at Aintree but she's a big player on her return to action back at 2m.
|
Looked an excellent prospect in bumpers and made it 2-2 over hurdles in impressive fashion in 6-runner listed event at Exeter (16.7f). Probably a little too keen for her own good when only fourth to You Wear It Well in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham and similar form against the males ar Aintree.
|
Bumper winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Lingfield prior to excellent second to Rainyday Woman in Taunton listed event. Laboured display at former track when last seen in January 2021 and this a very stiff return to action.
|
Fairly useful in bumpers and improved a chunk in all 4 hurdles outings last term, completing the hat-trick with the minimum of fuss at Market Rasen before running a cracker when second in the Grade 1 Mersey over 20f in April. Back at 2m for return and just about the one to beat on these terms.
|
Had a productive 2022-23 season, scoring 5 times (at up to 23.7f) and ending campaign with respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) in April. Likely needed the run on reappearance over C&D but that was a handicap and she's not up to this grade.
|
Excellent start for this yard last season, winning 3 handicaps at up to 18.9f. Very capable fresh so shouldn't be underestimated despite this being a rise in class.

Forecasts
Luccia (11/8), You Wear It Well (2/1), Kateira (11/4), Stainsby Girl (11/1), Salsada (20/1), Game On For Glory (50/1), Lone Star (125/1)
An open renewal despite the field size. LUCCIA didn't quite live up to expectations at the spring Festivals but, as a 5-y-o, time is very much on her side. She's fancied to hit the ground running and reverse Dawn Run form with You Wear It Well, with the Dan Skelton trained mare Kateira feared most in receipt of weight from that pair.
