13/2

Enjoyed a terrific spell over hurdles last summer, winning 4 of her 5 starts (at up to 20.4f). Had a blowout on Flat at Dundalk in February and must be taken seriously back over timber here.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 133| D

Useful hurdler. Out of her depth latest but had made the frame in a pair of listed hurdles previously and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Royal Hollow (13/8), Adela Icon (3/1), Royal Eagle (7/2), Mozzies Sister (4/1), Redwood Queen (13/2), Speculatrix (7/1), Stormalong (9/1), Hasten Slowly (25/1)

Preference is for SPECULATRIX, who may have made her effort earlier than ideal at Cheltenham last time and remains relatively unexposed. Mozzies Sister and Royal Eagle rate the principal dangers.
