25/1
Telescope mare who displayed improved form away from the mud when winning a brace of handicap in May/June. Bounced back from a lesser effort when second at Ludlow the previous month but faced with a stiff task on these terms.

Showed more than she had in a trio of bumpers when third in 11-runner maiden hurdle at Stratford (22f, good to soft) in October. This asks for more, however.

7/4
Fairly useful bumper winner who has made a promising enough start over hurdles despite being turned over at short odds on both occasions, including over an extended 2½m at Southwell latterly. Remains open to improvement.

100/1
In need of experience of sole outing in bumpers and didn't last out on her fist go at hurdling here the previous month. Probably more one for handicaps a bit further down the line.

Improved on hurdling debut form when fourth of 13 in novice (80/1) at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy) 26 days ago. Unlikely to be far away if repeating that.

Won sole start in Irish points (May 19) but looks one for staying handicaps later on under Rules.

15/2
Fair hurdler who held her form last season. Wears first-time cheekpieces on her return to action and ought to give her running once again.

7/2
Purchased for £100,000 after winning sole Irish point and ran to a fair level both starts in bumpers last season. Made a promising enough hurdling debut after 7 months off when third at Wincanton recently and entitled to improve.

Just modest in bumpers but took a step forward from hurdling debut when second of 6 in novice at Hexham (16.2f, soft, 8/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip.

Second sole outing in bumpers (modest form) and possibly needed the run fitted with a tongue strap on Leicester hurdling debut 16 months on. Upped markedly in trip.

Dylan Thomas mare. Runner-up only outing in Irish points in May 2023 but was well held on Rules debut at Lingfield the previous month.

Changed hands for £38,000 after winning the second of her 2 starts in Irish maiden points last winter and offered something to work on starting out under Rules when fifth in 9-runner novice at Fontwell (19.1f) 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

Forecasts

Crazierthandaisy (7/4), Realta Liath (7/2), Honeywort (11/2), Queshi Bridge (15/2), Two Fingers West (11/1), Roebuck Bay (11/1), The Secret Pearl (14/1), All Inn Hand (22/1), Come On Nia (25/1), La Dolce Dolly (50/1), Sister Marguerite (66/1), Hit For Sixty (100/1), Fortune Dancer (125/1), Scene Stealer (150/1), Damekap (300/1), Flyover (300/1)

Verdict

CRAZIERTHANDAISY has been turned over at short odds on both starts over hurdles, but she's done nothing obviously wrong and remains capable of better, so is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Two Fingers West is fancied to build on her Fontwell Rules debut, with Realta Liath and Honeywort others to consider.
