6 yo Filly

OR: 140

Form & Verdict
Below best the last twice but her jumping lacked fluency at Kelso (pulled up) and soft ground may not have been ideal at Market Rasen; 10l second in this last year (good to soft) and she comfortably won a handicap at Ludlow (3m, good) in October; not ruled out now back on better ground.

Record of 6-16 over fences; broke her Listed duck in Doncaster contest (2m4f) most recently, taking advantage of odds-on Brides Hill's below-par show; chance of following up partly depends on whether that opponent, who beat her by 6l in this event last year, is back on song.

9 yo Mare

OR: 147

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in this last year and tailed off on last month's reappearance at Market Rasen; however, she may have needed that latest run and a good case can be made on April's Grade 2 win against males at Sandown (2m6f, good); versatile ground-wise; she's a player if back on song.

Smart mare who ended 2023-24 season in career-best form, winning Sandown Grade 2 (2m6f, good); not much went to plan last term but she was going well until bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of her in last month's Topham over the big fences here and she remains well handicapped.

T: Nicky Henderson

Pulled up in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month in first-time cheekpieces, which leaves her stamina beyond 3m unproven, although it was not the trip which accounted for her poor show there (following two solid efforts); second over these fences in the 2023 Topham, sixth in it last year and she's due to have another crack at that race on Friday.

7 yo Mare

OR: 154

Form & Verdict
Races for the first time since May but goes well fresh and her two starts this year have yielded a Listed win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and a Grade 2 win at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding); leading claims for top Irish trainer who won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March and she showed strong chase form in her prime; however, her form has been patchy in both codes since that last win and she looks up against it today.

Admirable mare will be having her 108th start under rules; 1-21 over fences but has run well at this venue on multiple occasions; lost form since shock win in a 2m listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March 2024; hard to fancy on recent showings but can't fully dismiss.
