Had some hiccups since bumper win, notably when pulled up in both handicaps this winter, over hurdles (2m4f, good) and on chase debut (3m, good to soft); this first 2m run over jumps needs to prompt a big turnaround.

Form & Verdict
Sole win came over hurdles at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in June; caught the eye when fifth of 11 over an inadequate 2m1f at Kelso in October (good) and had an excuse when pulled up at Wetherby (3m, good; had a cut to her leg) last month; player.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then won over fences at Catterick (3m1f, soft); ran pretty well when 5l third of three in Sedgefield chase (3m2f, good) last time; arrives in good heart and there can be optimism that she'll be fine now back down in trip; possible player.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then made it 3-6 over fences when winning at Catterick (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; it was a weak race last time but she's unexposed over fences and could still have more to offer in this sphere; respected.

Has dropped a long way in the weights since starting out in handicaps and was only 3l away at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in this first-time headgear combination; clearly capable of winning a race of this nature.

Twice won over hurdles at around 3m1f last winter, latterly off this mark, but he has something to prove having ended up well beaten in both starts over fences recently; addition of cheekpieces needs to have an effect.

Dual hurdle winner last season (once over C&D) but was pulled up on reappearance outing in October and has largely been disappointing over fences since (five starts); seems very versatile regarding ground but reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers.

Dual C&D winner (soft/heavy) last season and does appear to reserve his best for this venue, with last month's 3l second another respectable effort; likely to need a bit more to go one better off this mark, but has definite place prospects.
