Form & Verdict
Returned to some form when third off this mark at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft) and Ludlow (3m, soft) on her last two starts; career score is 1-19 and this is her chase debut, but her sole win (last May) was on good ground and only three opponents are declared.

8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence.

3-8 over fences, including a win in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) last April; lacklustre when pulled up (albeit on soft ground) on last two outings, though, and can't be supported with much confidence here.

Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit.

Form & Verdict
Won a bumper here and made a winning start over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in November; in contention when slipping up on penultimate start and not disgraced behind a runaway winner at Catterick (3m1f) latest, but a fair bit better would surely be required in normal circumstances and that latest run did not prove her stamina beyond 2m7f.

Back below the mark of November's mares' handicap win at Fakenham (2m6f, good to soft); rarely operated at that level since, with little about two latest runs suggesting April's wind surgery has done anything for her.

Won over fences last season (2m5f, good to soft) but it was an up-and-down campaign in both disciplines; ran moderately on the back of wind surgery on return to hurdles at Southwell but certainly has a big run in her if she can rediscover her form.

Form & Verdict
Second in this race in 2023 (sole visit here); three chase wins over about 3m2f this season, the latest at Fontwell (3m2f, soft; good ground also fine) on Boxing Day; she needs to rebound from two poor shows but has done similar a few times before.

Form & Verdict
All three wins were on soft or heavy, including a double over this sort of trip last February/March; if there's not been a downpour, it's therefore additionally disconcerting that her best efforts this term (in January) were on heavy and she has stacks to prove if the ground is good.

Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations.
