Had four of these behind when winning quite decisively at Ludlow three weeks ago; 7lb penalty makes life tougher and she has to prove herself on the likely ground, having never run on softer than good.

11st 0lb |
Went close in 1m6f Flat handicap in July (RPR 69) and has finished second in two Fontwell hurdles for new stable since; ground slower than good would be new to her but, otherwise, she has pretty solid each-way claims. |

Started off her career with a fourth to Paddington at the Curragh just over a year ago but the pair have taken rather different paths since; well beaten on last month's C&D hurdle/stable debut (200-1). |

Displayed significant promise in two 7f 2yo maidens in Ireland last autumn but both Flat runs in the spring were disappointing; changed hands for 2,500gns in July; makes stable/hurdle debut here. |

Five starts on the Flat in France this year, winning the latest in July (claimer, 11.5f); bought for 21,000gns since; half-sister to a 3m hurdle winner so worth a second glance on British/hurdle debut.

Placed in three of 11 Flat starts (peak RPR 59); stays well and acts on soft so may be able to make an impact on hurdle debut.

0-11 on the Flat, but in the frame on five occasions at up to 2m; worth a second look especially if market positive. |

8st 13lb |
0-10 but has run well to make the frame on her last three starts (1m3f-2m, soft/heavy) and she's also shown promise on fast ground; wears a first-time visor and makes more appeal than most in this weak race. |

Modest Flat maiden and well beaten in first two efforts over hurdles; much better when beaten about ten lengths by Grain Of Hope at Ludlow (hampered early and stayed on well from the rear); could be a threat if building on that and proving as effective on softish ground.

Modest maiden on the Flat; third on both hurdling starts for new stable but was about 15l behind Grain Of Hope at Fontwell on latter occasion and needs to take a step forward here. |

Quite consistent in four hurdle starts without suggesting that she's progressing; beaten six lengths by Grain Of Hope at Ludlow and ought to finish closer with a 7lb pull; has run well on good to soft as well.

Four French Flat wins; well held on British debut in July and beaten 35l (behind Limelight) on her hurdling debut at Stratford in August; shaped with more promise than that looks and is now reunited with the aids worn in France; not a forlorn hope if they spark a revival.

Four French Flat wins, at up to 1m2f; well beaten at Newmarket on British debut and again when sent over hurdles in August; plenty to prove on that basis but aids return and that could spark a major improvement. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Four French Flat wins at up to 1m2f, the latest pair this spring, including on soft ground; well beaten over 1m4f on sole British start last month; more interesting than most of the hurdling newcomers although headgear/tongue-strap worn in France again missing. |
5/1 |

Verdict
Grain Of Hope (second choice) may confirm Ludlow form with her victims, although she needs to prove herself on ground softer than good. Both of Stuart Edmunds’ runners can be considered but perhaps SAISISSANTE can take a major step forward with the aids back on.[Jonathan Neesom]
