Had wind surgery prior to her solid effort behind main market rival at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft; hurdles debut) last month; remains a promising type and warrants respect returned to the scene of her Listed bumper success.

Acts on any ground; ran as if something was amiss on penultimate start; consistent otherwise and ran creditably at Sandown (2m7f) latest; each-way possibilities in first-time tongue-tie.

Ran creditably sole start here; won at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) on reappearance in just his second handicap and stuck to his task extremely well when going close in a major handicap at Haydock (3m, good to soft) later in November; something seemed amiss at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but the Haydock performance ensures that he needs a second look.

Newbury novice winner who maintained his momentum when runner-up on handicap debut at Windsor in January (2m4f, soft); should progress further this season and there's upside to his current mark.

Has something to find on his Chepstow bumper efforts for Paul Nicholls and is best watched on return from 12-month absence, unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Didn't last long with Paul Nicholls nor Keiran Burke, though hinted at a future in both yards; ran well in a maiden hurdle on stable debut and again when beaten 6l on handicap debut at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft); same mark here for this return to fences (unseated midrace in previous chase start nearly a year ago).

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Venetia Williams

Last month's keeping-on second at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) came in just a run-of-the-mill handicap and she's now 0-4 over fences but she's unexposed over this sort of trip and may still have a bigger run in her; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft.

Winning hurdler; has got closer in each of her three runs over fences, last time beaten 5.5l at Warwick (2m, good to soft); could well have more to offer.

Well beaten on chasing debut in January and probably didn't achieve a great deal when second of three behind short-odds winner at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; remains lightly raced but needs improvement here.
