Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Runner-up in handicap at Wexford (17.2f) in May, before seeming stretched by longer trip when seventh of 18 at Listowel (20.4f, good) the following month. Left Declan Queally and fitted with cheekpieces, she displayed much-improved form when successful at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard.

Related to a point winner and bolted up on second bumper start at Carlisle (17f, soft) in December. Fared as well as could be expected when mid-field in Grade 2 company at Aintree and she's a major player on hurdles debut.

Left previous bumper form well behind when landing 6-runner contest at Warwick in September. Low-key hurdles debut at Southwell since, though.

Sea Moon filly. Dam (b78), in frame once in bumpers, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Tazbar. Shaped like a stayer in a Fontwell bumper in September but kept to 2m for hurdles bow.

Unplaced in points and minor promise only both starts under Rules.

Arcadio mare who is bred to stay well and shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) last March. Off 10 months after and looked in need of the run on hurdles debut in January. Tongue tie on having missed further 9 months.
