Flemensfirth mare who impressed when making a winning start in Wincanton bumper before posting an excellent second in similar company at Newbury later last spring. Looks a good hurdling prospect for in-form yard.

Fairly useful ex-French hurdler/chaser at his best for David Cottin. Offered little for his new yard after 12 months off in 2m4f novice hurdle here 22 days ago though. Has lots to prove.

Age: 6
Weight: 10st 11lbs

A fair 1m4f French Flat winner in 2023 but twice well held over hurdles there since after a long absence. Needs to hit the ground running after another lay-off for her new yard here.

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs

Fair form shown in a trio of bumpers but off for 18 months before beating just one in 2m4f novice here 22 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward.

Adrian (Ger)

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

A four-time winner on the Flat in Germany earlier in his career, but modest form for present connections and probably worth taking on now switched to hurdles.

Elusive Knight (Ire)

J: Conor Ring
T: Evan Williams
F: 580

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: -

Won his sole start between the flags and shaped encouragingly on yard/hurdling debut when fifth over C&D in October. Has twice failed to build on it however at Fontwell and Chepstow. May still do better though.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
05/11/25	Chepstow	2m 16y	Soft	12/13	Hurdle
26/10/25	Fontwell Park	2m 1f 162y	Good	8/10	Hurdle
16/10/25	Ffos Las	1m 7f 182y	Good	5/6	Hurdle

Timeform Verdict

THERE RUNS MARY created an excellent impression in bumper company last term and looks very much the way to go now she starts out over hurdles for her in-form yard. Klimt Madrik made a promising start in this sphere when fourth here last month and rates much the biggest danger.

Betting Forecast

4/5 There Runs Mary (Ire), 7/4 Klimt Madrik (Fr), 33/1 Bardenas, 50/1 Pipas Lescribaa (Fr), 250/1 My Boy Aaron (Ire), 33/1 Adrian (Ger), 50/1 Elusive Knight (Ire)
