Verdict

TAKE A HIKE seemed to find the test too much at Ayr (24.3f) on her most recent outing and is taken to resume winning ways back over a more suitable trip. After Many Days is still a maiden but has definite claims from her mark if putting a lesser effort at Market Rasen quickly behind her, with Kantagua du Large another to consider dropping in grade.

8	Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) in November. Seemed to find the test too much at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) next time, so the return to this trip should be in her favour. 1st Pick 8 Take A Hike (Ire) Jockey: Freddie Keighley Trainer: D. J.

7	Maiden who followed a good run with a below-par one when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Possibilities if bouncing back to form. 2nd Pick 7 After Many Days Jockey: Will Featherstone Trainer: Henry Daly J: Will Featherstone T: Henry Daly	96	-	-	-	20%

1	Showed fairly useful form when winning a 4-y-o chase (in cheekpieces) in France. Has yet to come close to matching hat form on these shores but shaped with a bit more encouragement after 9 months off when fifth of 9 in Wincanton handicap 35 days ago. Merits consideration down in grade. 3rd Pick 1 Kantagua Du Large (Fr) Jockey: Miss Clara Brewitt Trainer: Clive Boultbee-Brooks J: Miss Clara Brewitt T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks	92	-	-	-	17%
