Confirmed previous promise to win a 19.5f Huntingdon maiden hurdle on return. Progressed once more sent handicapping when second at Exeter but more needed again on these terms.
|
Much improved from hurdling bow when bagging 5-runner novice at Exeter (21.6f, good) 57 days ago. However, that was a weak race and she looks up against it under a penalty.
|
Looked a useful prospect when winning a Warwick bumper on debut in February. Well held in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but she proved a let-down sent hurdling at Warwick on return. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
|
Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025) but weakened quickly in Sandown bumper on Rules debut last month. Tongue strap on.
|
Point winner who was too free when finishing down the field in an 18-runner bumper at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) on Rules debut in April. Offered little on hurdles debut at Newbury on return last month. Goes up markedly in trip.
|
Took a step forward on the back of a wind op when second of 8 in novice hurdle at Worcester on return 8 weeks ago, though very much had the run of the race. Needs to improve again.
|
Placed twice from 3 starts in bumpers and shaped encouragingly when second in mares' novice at Warwick on hurdling debut/return. Player with improvement likely over this longer trip.
|
Winning pointer who showed a bit more on second start for this yard at Exeter but looks one for handicaps later on.
|
Made a successful start in a maiden point last spring and showed ability in a couple of bumpers. Makes hurdles debut.
|
Has ability but looks one for handicaps later on.

€12,000 3-y-o, £32,000 4-y-o, Pillar Coral mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Hidden Heroics. Irish point winner (Nov 2024). Wears tongue strap.
|
€6,500 3-y-o, £10,000 4-y-o, Wings of Eagles filly. Dam unraced half-sister to quirky but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Fairytale Theatre. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (May 2025).

Crystal Spring (5/6), Pottersville (15/8), Diamonds Galore (4/1), Gaelic Saint (13/2), Betty's Daisy (8/1), No Flies On Her (12/1), Kilworth (22/1), Rene's Walk (28/1), Country Mouse (33/1), Where's Cato (40/1), Rosa Diaz (66/1), Connies Hill (125/1), Wishful Wings (150/1)
POTTERSVILLE looked a useful novice in the making when easily winning at Exeter last month and is capable of defying a penalty. Gaelic Saint offered something to work on sent hurdling when second at Warwick, while the penalised Crystal Spring is going the right way but needs to improve again.
