JMI Planning 10 Years In Business Mares' Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Qualifier) (GBB Race)

2-3 as a novice hurdler during 2024-25 season but 0-5 and generally disappointing since switched to chasing in November; didn't run badly when third of four in higher-grade event here (2m4f, good) last month, though, and is still unexposed over this sort of trip.

2-13 over fences when trained by Henry Daly, the latter win gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 3m but, having recently changed hands for £22,000, still has strong claims on this stable debut.

Failed to convince as a chaser in two attempts at last season; subsequently won over hurdles (2m3f, soft) but her form dipped afterwards; took step back in right direction when well-held second in four-runner hurdle last month (3m2f, good to firm) but needs another on this return to fences.

1-10 for current stable over the last year, the win gained off today's mark at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in November; needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort over that C&D last month but ran quite well in a valuable series final two starts ago and is of interest here.
