Never figured from higher marks in 3 subsequent starts and this run may just be needed on return. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 3/12/2021 it was reported that the horse had a breathing problem.

Good third on return at Ffos Las (21.8f) in April and that should have put her spot on ahead of this switch to chasing. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 103 GAVIN SHEEHAN

RACE SUMMARY:

HOWDILYOUDO proved a model of consistency over hurdles last year, winning twice at up to 23f. With a solid placed effort on return at Ffos Las under her belt in April, she could be worth siding with now her attentions are switched to chasing. Achy Breaky Heart wasn’t at her best over hurdles recently but rates a player back over fences. Princess Midnight completes the shortlist.
