tigerbet.co.uk Extra Places Paid Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here.

Not at her best this term but has dropped to her last winning mark, in December 2024; her second bout of wind surgery needs to have done the trick.

0-16 in bumpers and over hurdles but finished runner-up for the fourth time, at Warwick (3m2f, soft) last month; has dropped to a career-low mark and holds place claims at least.

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more.

Two course wins over hurdles and fences, one over C&D; has been below par over fences on her last three starts but it is hoped that a return to hurdling on this track can bring about a revival.
