Land Girl's Luck (M)
FAV
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor last summer. Put in another good shift when runner-up back from a break over 2m here recently and she's a live each-way candidate now returned to a more suitable trip …

Midnight Ginger (M)
Losing run stretches back over 2 years and while she proved that ability remains when fourth of 6 on first run following a break/breathing operation at Warwick last month, this 10-y-o again looks vulnerable from a win perspective.

Broadway Honey (M)
Half-sister to the yard's smart staying chaser Broadway Boy and she appeared to take a small step forward when third in a C&D novice in November. However, progress was not forthcoming on her handicap debut back from a break at Ludlow last …

Border Gem (M)
Close second in a bumper last spring and showed ability in maiden/novice company, not least when second in a 7-runner mares' event at Wincanton in November. Has failed to improve for the switch to handicap company the last twice but she ha…

Hey Flint (M)
[P1]
No show in a trio of novice hurdles and there were very few positives to take from her recent handicap debut over this C&D. Hopes now pinned on the addition of cheekpieces working the oracle.

Reel Orange (M)
[T]
Still looking for first success but took a step back in the right direction when finding just one too good starting out for this yard at Exeter (18.5f, soft). Reproduction of that effort would give her a major chance, for all that she does…

Miss Carbo (F)
[H]
Fair ex-French hurdler who was runner-up on debut for new yard in 2m Warwick maiden in December. Hasn't replicated that in 3 subsequent outings but she could have a say now handicapping off what looks a potentially decent mark.

Miss Fedora (M)
[T]
Successful twice over fences at Plumpton during first half of 2025 but it's been downhill most of the way since, including at Taunton on Monday. Needs to bounce back now returned to hurdles.
