The Flaggy Shore (M)
Easily won sole start in Irish points and looked potentially useful at the very least when following up in impressive fashion on her Warwick bumper debut. Built on that effort when finding only one too good up in grade at Market Rasen sinc…

Grizzled Squirrel (M)
Stepped up on her debut when third of 14 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good, 4/1) in July. More needed contesting a stronger race back from 6 months off, though.

One Dimensional (M)
[H]
Frontiersman mare who exceeded expectations (sent off 50/1) when fifth of 14 in listed bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on debut in December. Hood retained and now has to show she can go the right way.

Shirocco filly. Dam unraced sister to very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Shishkin and useful hunter chaser (stayed 25f) Marcle Ridge. Bred more for stamina than speed.
