20/1
Third in a 21.5f Newton Abbot maiden last September. Shaped as if first outing for 10 months was needed when well-held fifth at Worcester in July. Brings an unexposed profile to handicap debut.

Found improvement when making a winning reappearance in 2m Worcester handicap (good) in July. Best effort since when 9 lengths third of 7 at Warwick (19f) 3 weeks ago.

Scored at Newton Abbot last summer but has been below in all 5 outings since, the latest 8 weeks ago. A first-time tongue tie needs to help spark a revival.

40/1
Dual Irish point winner. Well held in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months but no surprise were she to fare better in handicaps. One to note in the betting.

Didn't show much in a couple of bumpers for Kieran Burke last winter and similar story over hurdles. Handicaps do provide her with a more realistic chance, though.

10/3
Modest maiden who has largely struggled to make an impact in handicaps. Has dropped 5 lb ahead of this first outing in 5 months but others are still preferred.

15/2
Hurdle winner who has been runner-up 3 times over fences this season. Latest Uttoxeter effort disappointing but fairly handicapped if a return to hurdles see her bounce back to form.

Long-standing maiden who returned to form with cheekpieces on for first time when 7 lengths second of 13 at Uttoxeter (2m) 4 weeks ago. Player if as effective over this longer trip.

Improved second in Wincanton handicap in March. Would have matched that form but for a late fall at Market Rasen in June but ruined her chance by hanging badly right at Newton Abbot later that month. Off since.

Well beaten in an AW Flat maiden for the Crisford stable. Poor maiden hurdler but her in-frame efforts at CArtmel and Fontwell in recent months show she can be competitive from her mark.

Forecasts

Northern Rose (3/1), After Many Days (10/3), Quick Of The Night (7/2), Path Of Stars (5/1), My Virtue (15/2), Dame Sarra (16/1), Prairie Queen (18/1), Cheeky Lady (20/1), Feeling Frisky (33/1), Lynsey Larue (40/1)

17:20 Hereford - 13 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

If a return to hurdles sparks a revival from MY VIRTUE she might be the way to go in this finale. Last month's Uttoxeter runner-up Northern Rose is second choice. Cheeky Lady and Lynsey Larue rate possible improvers in handicaps and need monitoring in the betting.
