Wincanton Race 2 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
NO TRICKS AT ALL (1) showed his ability in October scoring by 1.25L on hurdle debut at Worcester over 3200m. Further improvement would be expected. Serious player. SHE'S DELIGHTED (5) could be seen to greater effect now going hurdling. Midfield finishes in both jumpers flat runs but has good point to point experience. Main danger. YELD TO CALL (7) ran well on jumps debut at Warwick in November posting a fourth by 12L over 3800m. Wind surgery since. Open to further progress. MISS MACARONI (4) finished downfield on her sole flat run last January. From a family with a decent jumps record. Shortlisted on jumping debut.

Resuming after a break; having had just one run last campaign tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len Worcester on October 22 over 3200m defeating Diamonds Galore carrying 69.5kg at $19 in a hurdle. When resuming last campaign finished fourth of 8 starters at Southwell on May 20 over 3200m, 7 len behind Eremenko carrying 67.5kg at $3.50. Sure to feature on her best form.

Having third race start. First race start finished sixth of 7 starters at Hereford on February 23 over 3250m, on slow going 31 len behind Forthfactor with 67.5kg at $34. Went for a break before returning ran last at Exeter on December 5 over 3300m, 98 len behind Gentleman Toboot with 66.5kg at $301. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Last outing made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 14 runners at Taunton on December 11 over 3300m, 17 len behind Knock Off Soxs carrying 66.5kg at $67. Run before finished fifth of 7 starters at Taunton on November 27 over 3300m, 19 len behind Miss Altea Blue carrying 66.5kg at $126. Continues to improve. Struggling to find form but is worth another chance.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only had one start last when she was finished 15th of 16 starters at Doncaster on January 24 over 3300m, 37 len behind Storming George carrying 67.5kg at $17. Not too keen on her chances here.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming settled back and ran on when finished fifth of 9 starters at Uttoxeter on October 17 over 3200m, 10 len behind Shotgun Shirley carrying 68.5kg at $12. Second run from a spell finished seventh of 10 starters at Wetherby on November 26 over 3200m, on slow going 10 len behind Popton Point with 67.5kg at $7.50. Fitter now and making headway every start. Top chance back to this discipline.
