Radnor Hills Mares' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Won Lingfield mares' novice (2m, soft) in February and placed in handicaps on next two starts, finishing good second of 16 at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April; wind surgery ahead of her third of six, beaten 21, at Fontwell (about 2m2f, good to soft) on return last month; candidate to step forward from that but certainly needs to.

Form figures over hurdles for this yard read P32411111 and she followed a comfortable C&D handicap (good to firm) win in October with a ready success at Huntingdon (also 2m, good) three weeks ago; up another 4lb but she's got the winning habit; much respected.

Had a first-time tongue-tie (retained all starts since) when scoring on her hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) just over a year ago; attracted support before solid fifth of 18 on her comeback at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) last month; that was just her second handicap and this drop back in trip is a likely plus; key player despite no tongue-tie today.

Hold-up mare whose success in this race last year was the middle leg of a hat-trick; also scored at Taunton in March during a fine campaign under Isabel Williams; no threat in two starts this term but she'll likely be reaching concert pitch for this and a bigger run is surely in the offing.

Won this by 14l off 2lb higher in 2023 and was a fine third of 17 in valuable Market Rasen handicap (about 2m, good) when last seen in July 2024; fitness for this will need to be taken on trust but she's handicapped to make her mark; market clues significant.
