8 yo Mare

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Four hurdle wins; failed fully to convince on her three chasing attempts last season but ended that campaign with creditable third over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m4f, good); not beaten far in two competitive handicap hurdles this autumn and now back over fences on a tempting mark; interesting.

Disappointing favourite returned to chasing last time, extending her losing run; nicely treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

6 yo Filly

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Comfortably won Hereford maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in February and close second off today's mark on handicap hurdle debut at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April; unseated at first fence last month but remains an interesting prospect for chasing and is completely unexposed over this sort of trip.

Mighty Moth

11st 12lb

J: Joe Anderson

T: Noel Williams

A winner over hurdles and off the mark as a chaser at the fourth attempt when breezing clear for a very comfortable win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft), beating Fortunefavorsdbold who runs earlier on the card; hit with an 8lb rise but the cheekpieces were new last time.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form towards end of last season, winning twice (2m3f/2m4f); still very well treated on old hurdling form but did not fire on either appearance this autumn and it's hard to know what to expect from her here.

Won three in a row early last year (2m4f-2m6f, good/good to soft) before keeping on well for second over 3m1f at Cheltenham (good); returned from break with good second at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she's high on the list today.

Five-time chase winner (good/good to soft; once over C&D); absent since very respectable third at Aintree (2m4f, good) last May but this race is easier and she features prominently in calculations.

Back in prime form towards end of last season, winning three in a row (2m4f-2m6f) before creditable second in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); ought to be right in the thick of things again here.

6 yo Mare

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Blotted her copybook when refusing to race on penultimate appearance but quickly made amends at Leicester (3m, good to soft) last month, making all to score by 18l; subsequent 6lb rise could have been worse and she should be fine back at 2m4f; could take some catching if in right mood again.

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Martin Keighley

Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield.

Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark.

J: Sean Bowen

Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance.

Form & Verdict
Triple hurdle winner (2m4f-2m7f) in early part of last season; disappointed on chasing debut in May and was pulled up when back over hurdles last month but she ran well for a long way on that latest outing and is not one to give up on just yet.
