J: Tom Cannon

Opened her chase account at the seventh attempt when winning over C&D last month, and didn't have to improve to follow up off 4lb higher back here (2m4f, soft) a fortnight later; shoulders a 7lb penalty in her hat-trick bid, but she remains open to further progress back up in distance; strong contender.

Stuck on well to beat the market leader (pair clear) in similar event at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last time, opening her chase account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but still looks well treated, including on best hurdles form; respected.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on her old form but last win was almost two years ago; ran some good races last year but was no match for the front two at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) on her penultimate run and she didn't get very far at Catterick (fell at first) two weeks ago; mixed messages.

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.

Form: 3672-3

W: 11st 9lb

7 yo Mare

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
0-9 under rules but she was in good form over hurdles in the spring, including a close call at Plumpton (2m5f, good); returns after 281 days off but she's a half-sister to two useful chasers and needs a close look on this switch to fences; effective on good to soft but is untried on slower.

Had heavy ground as an excuse when pulled up on chase debut in February after nine months off and fared a lot better back on a sounder surface when second of six at Ludlow (2m4f, good) 25 days ago; her jumping was a bit iffy but is entitled to get better with experience; enters calculations.

Competitive over hurdles last spring and heavy ground was a feasible excuse when pulled up on chase debut at Leicester in February after 281 days off (had lost position when sprawling at the 11th); can be given another chance.

Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time.

T: David Dennis

Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind.
