Download The BetMGM App Mares' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Five hurdle wins over the years for this yard and two were this autumn under Fern O'Brien; below form on latest start, however, and whether a stiff, left-handed track such as this, or ground softer than good for that matter, is her cup of tea remains to be seen.

Dual Listed winner during her productive novice campaign, latterly over C&D in April; excellent second of seven to Sweet Caryline on handicap debut at Wincanton (2m5f, good; acts on soft) five weeks ago, when a blunder two out may well have cost her the win; up 4lb but highly respected.

Back-to-back wins on soft ground two winters ago in this race and over 2m7f at Lingfield; absent 418 days afterwards, however, and soundly beaten on all three starts since; some caution has to be advised.

Seven wins in 18 months, the latest over 2m in a Huntingdon claimer in November; there have been some heavy defeats too, including over C&D in April and when back up to 2m7f at Ascot (18-1) last time, but at least the cheekpieces (absent last time, worn previous four starts) are restored.

Second in a Listed bumper here last season and won the mares' final at Newbury (2m4f handicap, good) in March on her fourth start over hurdles; following a good reappearance third at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago, she looks poised for another big run.
