Lycetts Insurance Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

16-1 and beaten 32l in a point bumper at Larkhill (good) when hooded and tongue tied in December; has joined a good yard but needs plenty more on this introduction to hurdles.

Irish point winner on heavy; beaten favourite in both bumpers and modest third in seller in sole completed attempt over hurdles; 100-1 and pulled up at Southwell (also about 2m4f, soft) last time; drop in trip might help but it needs to.

All three starts over 2m on good ground; 15-2 and won small-field bumper at Warwick in May; beaten 23l on hurdles debut at Worcester in October but that form received an elephantine boost when the winner landed the Dawn Run at last week's Cheltenham Festival; had an excuse (bled) when last seen in November; requires a second look.

Increasingly bigger prices and she beat a total of three rivals across three bumpers this term; switch to hurdles needs to prompt serious improvement.

Promise in first two bumpers, in Ireland and for Harry Fry, but she signed off for the latter with a disappointing run at Uttoxeter in October 2024; came back from an absence and showed nothing at 66-1 on hurdles/stable debut 45 days ago.
