Not kicked on from her Wincanton maiden win of two years ago (1m7f, good to soft), albeit raced just thrice since; drops to a class 4 handicap for the first time, but have to hope last month's return was simply needed.

Soundly beaten at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last November and absent since; however, this three-time French bumper winner (heavy/good to soft) impressed in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in December 2021 and ran well in a hot little handicap at Chepstow (2m, good) last October; retains potential and she's an interesting contender.

Form & Verdict

Disregard one Market Rasen flop (lost action) and this Ffos Las novice scorer (2m, heavy) has been consistent, win or lose; 2lb higher mark than for her one previous handicap outing demands more; no ground issues.

Good-ground bumper winner who has won one of her five hurdle starts, at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) in January; had an excuse at Market Rasen ten days ago (lost her action and was pulled up) and she's capable of giving a good account, but others here may have greater potential.

Form & Verdict

Weakening 6l third on this month's seasonal/handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good) owed more to her proximity to a brisk gallop than needing the run; still ran to this unchanged mark even so, and retains potential.

Did it quite comfortably when beating Jaminska off level-weights at Ludlow (good to soft) and nothing wrong with her latest second at Taunton; enters handicaps off a lenient mark; considered.

Derived the benefit of her British debut (12l behind On Cloud Nine) when third at Ayr this month (same mark), though having got outpaced around that galloping 2m there must be a fear Fakenham will prove too sharp.

Ex-French 5yo who was a good third at Ayr (2m, good to soft) on November 4 on second start for this yard before easily winning in a small field at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) last Tuesday; a 7lb penalty may not stop her if she repeats that latest form.

Form & Verdict

Last time's Uttoxeter handicap third (2m) was about the form equal of the summer's Bangor maiden success at nearer to 2m4f, for all she didn't settle; not evidently as much in hand of her mark as some of these.
