Jumping-revelation Wodhooh aims to get back to winning ways on her seasonal reappearance in the Grade 2 Ladbrokes Ascot Hurdle today.

The Le Havre mare ran four times on the Flat without winning, but remarkably landed her first seven races over flights before finding the top-class Lossiemouth too good when runner-up in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle in April.

Her winning spree included two Listed contests and the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival.

Gordon Elliott said: “She’s in good form and travelled over well.

"She’s getting all the allowances and we’re looking forward to running her.”

Wodhooh trades around 13/8 favourite for this extended 2m3f contest.
