Won twice on Flat in France during 2023 and belied a lengthy absence to make a successful hurdling debut in 6-runner novice at Leicester (16f, heavy) last December. Opening mark could have been kinder but is open to improvement nonetheless back from another lay-off.
|
Won 3 hurdle races in 2024 before a break. Finished creditably when 3rd at Wetherby (11/4) 24 days ago, moving well but effort faded after poor jump at last hurdle. Seems likely to give another good account.
|
Has struggled in handicaps since leaving novice company, finishing sixth of 12 at Aintree on second start for current yard 31 days ago. Eased further in the weights and is a C&D winner, but has work to do.
|
Finished second twice in early 2025 but often flatters to deceive. Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (28/1) 41 days ago, ridden more prominently than usual after 7 months off. Often unsuited by races without a strong gallop.
|
Benefited from the stiffer test of stamina when resuming winning ways at Market Rasen (23f, good) in August but below form last 3 outings.
|
Won a conditions hurdle in France (2023) and second of 11 in claimer at Argentan 751 days ago. First run for new trainer but may well need the outing.
|
Made a winning handicap debut at Navan but largely disappointing since, albeit ran one of her better races in a first-time hood (left off here) when fourth of 7 at Leicester (80/1) on first outing for this yard 22 days ago. Needs to build on that.
|
Third of 7 in a novice hurdle at Wetherby (5/1) 714 days ago, racing wide and leaving previous hurdling form behind. May need this run after such a long absence, though.

Hara Kiri (11/8), Railway Bell (5/2), Nowmelad (3/1), Sweet Honey B (15/2), Authodidacte (8/1), Love Me (10/1), Zambezi Fix (11/1), Belvedere Blast (14/1), Jiair Madrik (28/1)
RAILWAY BELL looks to have been handed a fair-looking opening mark so she's taken to maintain her unbeaten record under Rules returning from a lengthy absence for a yard whose runners rarely lack for fitness. Hara Kiri seems highly likely to give another good account, with Authodidacte another interesting handicap debutante having been successful on her sole outing over hurdles last December.
