Paid for proximity to pace on recent return; mark is unchanged, and she retains potential

Split two next-time winners when second in a Cheltenham Grade 3 latest; shortlisted
1	Holly Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo O'Neill	168	—	1/38-8	118	118	94	26d	—	—	+12	26	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Drops to a class 4 handicap for the first time; must hope last month's return was needed.

Back to form with last time's Uttoxeter handicap third (2m, soft); likely more is needed

Consistent in the main and no ground issues; 2lb higher than for previous handicap run
4	Ip Up Chestnut J:Craig Nichol T:Jedd O'Keeffe	J:Craig Nichol T:Jedd O'Keeffe	157	—	632-53	107	118	109	17d	—	—	+8	16.6	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Third off today's mark at Ayr latest; outpaced there, so could find this track too sharp
