Form & Verdict
3-6 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Exeter (2m, good) in April; also ran well when fourth of sixth at Chepstow (2m, good) later that month, where a last-flight jumping error magnified her margin of defeat; today's longer trip will suit and she might still have more to offer.

5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable.

11st 2lb

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Paul Nicholls

Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here.

OR: 121

Form & Verdict
Looked out of sorts on all three chase/hurdle starts in 2024 but returned from break with two very respectable runs in good-quality handicap hurdles this spring (2m1f/2m4f, good) and has slipped to a good mark.

Has a record of 4-8 over fences and ran well on most recent attempt in this sphere (poor effort over hurdles since); on a career-high mark but she's the only course winner in this field and 2-3 at Kempton to boot.

Reverted to fences with a hard-fought success at Stratford (2m1f, good) and perhaps found good to firm too lively when tailed off back there 28 days ago; can be hard to predict but she's capable of a big run.

Not really firing on all cylinders over hurdles this spring but reverted to fences with a hard-fought success here (2m1f, good; front pair clear) last month and has obvious claims if in similar form again today.
