It's now 16 runs since her last win in 2023 and she came in a below-par sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who took a step forward on her handicap bow when fifth of 16 at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Should improve further so this Irish challenger is not taken lightly.

A dual 2m scorer last November and she got back on track when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) in June. Not ruled out after a break.

Still a maiden but she posted a creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ayre (19.5f) 15 days ago. Can't be discounted with cheekpieces added.

Flat maiden but she is going the right way in this sphere, tongue tied when a very good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Must enter calculations nudged up 1 lb.

A fair maiden hurdler but she ended her time with Karen Jewell out of sorts and was pulled up on stable debut at Ffos Las 27 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.

Scored on her handicap bow at Bangor (19.6f) in February but well below that level in a trio of starts this term. Needs to take a big step forward.

9/4
A fair 1m4f Flat winner who posted her best effort in this sphere when third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, faring best of those held up. Merits serious consideration off the same mark with Brian Hughes now up.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in only sixth of 9 in handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with lots more required.

Yet to show any form of note, last of 8 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement.

14:15 Catterick - 16 December 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STELLARMASTERPIECE scored three times on the Flat this summer and signalled she is ready to go in this sphere when third at Doncaster recently so edges the vote from Somebodycometogether who advanced her form when runner-up at Sedgefield last time out. Gavin Cromwell's unexposed Caman Rocco can also have a say, with Holly Bird and Suitably Surprised completing the shortlist.
