HMS Daring Royal Navy T45 Destroyer Mares' Handicap Chase (Challenger Mares' Chase Series Qualifier)

Won handicaps in the autumn on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and runner-up in Listed races on both outings since, over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) and fences at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft); leading claims back in handicap company.

Won first four starts for this yard, over hurdles and fences (2m-2m2f) last spring, then posted two solid placed efforts; shaped encouragingly on January's hurdling comeback, but failed to build on that when a 23l third at Catterick (1m7f, soft); still, she's worth considering eased 2lb back over fences.

No comments available for this runner.

Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict.

Took a step back in the right direction when second, albeit beaten 18l, at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; tongue-tie applied) in January on stable debut and first run since wind surgery; another step forward will be required but that's not out of the question.
