OR: 95

Form & Verdict
2-6 for new stable since the spring; looked in particularly good nick when sauntering clear on run-in at Perth (2m, good) nine days ago and needs to be taken very seriously under 7lb penalty here (due to go up 8lb).

Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run.

Better than ever since joining this stable, winning three of her last four races; easily beat four rivals at Hexham (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago and an 8lb rise should not stop her being competitive again.

Form & Verdict
Not an instant success over hurdles last season but was on the upgrade in the spring, making all in good-ground novice events at Carlisle (2m1f) and Kelso (2m); makes handicap debut after 164-day absence but could easily have more improvement to come this term.

C&D winner last spring; back from a winning spell over fences with a very good second of six in 2m Hexham handicap hurdle 22 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards nudged up 1lb with that form having been well advertised since.

Dual hurdles winner whose latest success was a handicap chase at Sedgefield in February (2m, good to soft); better handicapped over hurdles; over 8l behind Filibustering at Newcastle last time but meets the winner on 7lb better terms.

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Won four-runner chase here (1m7f, good) in first-time blinkers in June but has regressed and become inconsistent under all codes; tailed off on the Flat in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight ago and not an easy one to predict on this return to hurdling; blinkers back on.

Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run.

Form & Verdict
Has taken form to whole new level since joining George Bewley in the spring, winning twice (once over C&D) from four starts; lost out only narrowly in competitive race at Cartmel (2m1f, good) six weeks ago and commands respect in current mood.

Progressed well after winning a Cartmel seller last May (2m1f, good to soft) with two wins and two seconds, one of them over this C&D, and went up 25lb; hasn't been out since being pulled up at Hexham in October; interesting if fully wound up after her winter break.

6 yo Mare

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Has very mixed hurdling record for three different stables but came good for this one at first attempt, at Bangor (2m3f, good) in July, and rebounded from poor run with pretty good fourth at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; has a fighting chance here if on another going day.
