Form & Verdict
Four wins (one over fences) in her time with David Pipe; back from a long layoff with two thirds from two starts for her new yard in 2m handicap hurdles this term, which she needs to better but she is well handicapped judged on her 2m4f chase form two winters back; interesting.

Ran in the Grand National 11 days ago, badly hampered at the second fence and falling at the third; won two high-profile handicaps last November before Listed win at Newbury and the drop back to 2m4f didn't appear ideal at the Cheltenham Festival; leading claims if none the worse for last time.

10yo who is better than ever this term, including with a big handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) and Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); dropping back to 2m4f, however, was probably not ideal when creditable third in mares' race at Cheltenham last month; 8lb higher than in the Newbury race but her dominance that day is hard to forget.

10yo who has been better than ever this term, completing a notable handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup (2m4f, soft; here) and the Coral Gold Cup (3m2f, good to soft) before easily completing a hat-trick in a Listed mares' chase (2m7f, good to soft); the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but rain would aid her cause and she's entitled to respect.

Form & Verdict
This is her fourth attempt at about 2m4f and she's not proved her stamina; style of her hurdles win over an extended 2m2f at Exeter four weeks ago gives some renewed hope and last season's peak efforts over fences make this look a good mark.

She's 2-17 over hurdles as opposed to 7-27 over fences and is unraced in this sphere since November 2023; however, won twice over fences this season (3m1f/2m4f, good/good to soft) and will be a major player if transferring that form back to hurdles.

Form & Verdict
Clearly best show last term over hurdles was a 3m1f win at Plumpton; collared Sacre Coeur close home over an extended 2m4f at Kempton on this season's second run over fences and creditable fourth at Warwick latest, but she may now prove ideally suited by a step back up from this trip.

Form & Verdict
2-8 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in a first-time visor last February and returning cheekpieces (first headgear this term) five weeks ago; 22-1 for the latter in what seemed a warm race at Cheltenham but she did it in clearcut fashion; big player on that but 5lb higher today and it might be argued that she is less potent in second-time headgear.

Second win over fences when keeping on well to beat 12 rivals in a 2m4f Cheltenham handicap for mares in December (good to soft) and appeared to lose her concentration when unseating mid-race at Windsor; that raises some alarms as it appeared she tried to run out, but the ability is there to be competitive.

Form & Verdict
She did well as a novice hurdler last term and has now taken well to fences, on second attempt winning a four-runner mares' race at Exeter four weeks ago; mid-division in warm races in her two handicaps last term, including her sole attempt over this sort of trip but she looks bred to stay; remains capable of better if she can answer the stamina question.

Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground.
