Delta Blues Belle
DELTA BLUES BELLE travelled powerfully when making a mockery of her mark at Huntingdon just 8 days ago. Still well-treated under a penalty, this well-bred staying filly remains open to further progress and can follow up. Walkinthepresent left previous efforts behind on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter and 3m/first-time cheekpieces could unlock more improvement, while it's still early days for Klic Boum over these longer trips.

Placed in an Irish point last spring. Tailed off in maiden/novice starts before leaving those efforts behind when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (5/2 fav) 20 days ago.

Maiden finished third at Leicester 65 days ago and ran second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (7/2) 14 days ago, though failed to improve immediately for step up to 23.9f. Still early days over these longer trips and he shapes like an out-and-out stayer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las2m 7f 191yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Leicester2m 4f 110yHeavyHurdle3/5Chepstow2m 3f 100ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/11Exeter2m 161yGoodHurdle11/17Ffos Las1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/5- 1The Grey ManJ: Sean BowenT: Harriet Dickin366-47UAge 715/29/18/1

Shaped encouragingly when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last October but struggled when sent chasing. Unseated rider in handicap chase at this course (12/1) 17 days ago. Isn't fully exposed over this trip and he's not discounted with Sean Bowen aboard back over hurdles.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 7f 136ySoft (Heavy in places)Chaseur/16Ludlow2m 4f 11yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase7/12Ffos Las2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/13Chepstow2m 3f 100yGood (Good to Soft in places )Hurdle6/9Warwick2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/7- 2Face d'MusicJ: Shane QuinlanT: Katy Price-PP4P43Age 712/112/111/1

More hope in last two starts, third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (12/1) 14 days ago, finding the 15.8f trip inadequate. Back up significantly in trip which should suit as he stays well. Could be competitive back down in class.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las1m 7f 182yHeavyHurdle3/7Market Rasen2m 7f 16yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/9Taunton2m 7f 198yGoodHurdlepu/9Ludlow2m 7f 174yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/7Uttoxeter3m 2f 13yGoodChasepu/10- 9LightonthewingJ: C.

Runner-up in a Ffos Las novice in May 2024, but yet to fire this season, pulled up on chasing debut here in November and eighth of 9 in hurdle at Taunton (50/1) 45 days ago, blinkered (retained) but lost place early in straight/no response. Down 5 lb and worth a market check dropped into a 0-100.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 7f 198yGoodHurdle8/9Haydock Park3m 58yGood to SoftHurdle6/7Chepstow2m 7f 136yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chasepu/7Bangor-on-dee2m 7f 32ySoftHurdle7/10Ffos Las2m 4fGood (Good to Soft In Places)Hurdle2/14- 7Hairy PotterJ: Ciaran GethingsT: Ben Case57-865Age 633/133/128/1

Lightly raced gelding without a win and showed more than previously when fifth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Ludlow (125/1) 29 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained), though made little impression. Up in trip for handicap debut but will need to build on latest run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 5f 55yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/13Doncaster2m 4f 181yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle6/6Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to SoftHurdle8/9Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper7/7Warwick2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper5/12- 8No RematchJ: Miss Imogen MathiasT: Samuel DrinkwaterF03-2P8Age 1250/150/166/1

Course winner proved that plenty of ability remains when second of 4 at Perth in May but has run poorly since. Eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (14/1) 204 days ago, tailed off.
