Holland Cooper Mares' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Outclassed in a Listed race two runs back but admirably consistent otherwise and a 4lb rise for beating Ostrava Du Berlais at Warwick the last time (2m, good) is more than fair; strong claims.

In the same colours but with Anthony Honeyball when a 2l winner of this 12 months ago on good ground; got her career back on track after a break with a successful stable debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good), having comfortably accounted for two rivals; this will take more winning off 6lb higher but clearly a contender.

5lb higher than for her last win and similar form in defeat the last twice, over 2m at Warwick (behind Lime Drop) and then 2m4f at Ludlow (again on good ground); might be vulnerable again.

Stays 3m and it was over 2m4f she ran her best race yet over fences when second at Leicester (good to soft); she's not short of pace (effective at 2m as a hurdler) and Harry Skelton is back on board for the first time since they won a maiden hurdle last September.

Took a good while to win over fences and that was in a four-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, soft; 2lb lower); held by Lime Drop on their clash in January and could have run better last time.
