Form & Verdict
Comfortably won over hurdles off a similar mark at Hereford (about 2m1f, good to soft) in November; warm in the market when an encouraging second on her chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) 13 days ago, looking like a step up in trip could do the trick; gets that today and surely goes well.

Form & Verdict
Lost his form over fences after finishing second at Musselburgh (about 2m4f, soft) over a year ago and has been kept to hurdling since joining this yard; some fair efforts were rather overshadowed when he ran no race at Plumpton (about 3m1f, good) three months ago, though; hard to know what to expect on his return to this sphere.

He's produced a good body of work since joining Nick Scholfield, including a 3l defeat of Depalma over 3m at Bangor earlier this month; he's 14lb higher than that day but latest narrow defeat at Kelso was no backward step (3lb lower; 2m5f, good to firm); stays this far.

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Best form when winning on her chase debut at Plumpton (about 2m4f, good) in April but she fell at Market Rasen a fortnight later and looked to be remembering that when jumping carefully at Hereford 26 days ago, eventually pulled up; all of her dam's four wins came in cheekpieces and she's not ruled out with that aid now deployed.

Won four-runner race on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in April; not a great deal has gone to plan since but she ran well before fading into third over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago and may still have some potential over fences.

Form & Verdict
Won in the mud over C&D in April and was a wide-margin winner over hurdles at Hereford (2m4f, good) three days later, proving he doesn't need testing conditions; 10lb higher mark much more of an issue, as it was when third over hurdles at Ludlow last month; should still be in the mix.

2-15 over hurdles, latest win over 2m7f at Worcester last August under Eleanor Williams; largely disappointing since until a 2.5l second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last week, where hanging may have cost him; should go close if reproducing that effort.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 103

Form & Verdict
0-6 over fences and his jumping has been an issue; not seen in this sphere since pulled up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in February but appreciated a subsequent return to hurdles, winning twice in the spring; couldn't take advantage of a good opportunity in a Clonmel claimer last time, though, and has a question to answer back over fences, despite his lower chase mark.

Pulled up after losing a shoe in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time, having finished in the frame in his five previous races this term, all off much lower marks over fences; went up 19lb when completing a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last season, so although conditions suit, faces a stiffer task now back hurdling.

Form & Verdict
1-8 over fences, the win coming two starts back at Southwell (nearly 3m2f; had wind surgery) and it was a respectable effort when third in the Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, also good) 29 days ago; not certain to be suited by this sharp drop back in trip.
