Litholexal Handicap Hurdle

Back on track to an extent with last month's fast-ground Hereford 2m3f second in debuted cheekpieces (retained), albeit beaten 21l; ground slower than good would ask a new question.

Transformed by the tongue-tie, adding an admittedly poor 2m4f Southwell novice handicap hurdle two nights ago to last weekend's Worcester chase debut rout (2m, good); likely still well ahead of her mark, and just a case of whether a third race in a week or possibly softer ground find her out; also engaged 8:30 Warwick Wednesday.

The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more.

Last month's staying-on 5l fourth in a 2m novice here was given a boost by the third at Southwell two days ago; handy initial mark set against his bumper best; kept almost exclusively to good ground so far.

Career already subject to two significant interruptions, and offered little in a debuted tongue-tie when starting out for current connections here last month (2m7f, good).
