Gin And Dubonnet Lady Protectress Mares' Chase (Listed Race) (GBB Race)

Better than ever for current yard, gaining two Listed wins on right-handed tracks (good to soft); jumped that way at times when held at left-handed Doncaster in hat-trick attempt; clear on ratings and the return to a clockwise course is ideal.

Five wins over hurdles; 0-4 since switched to fences but ran well off a handy mark in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) most recently; however, at the weights she has about a stone to find with the pick on ratings in this field.

Point/bumper/hurdles winner who is looking for the full set; ran well in novice handicap at Kempton (2m4f) on Boxing Day when making chase/seasonal debut; upped in class but is an interesting contender, being open to further improvement.

Form comprises a success in Irish point, third-place finish in bumper and modest sixth in novice hurdle; absent for over a year and returns with tongue-tie fitted; should make a chaser but this looks a difficult starting point.

Northern raider who is a novice chaser; justified favouritism at Ayr (2m) in November; another good handicap effort when sent down south to Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) most recently; may struggle to bag Listed honours but could go well.
