Form & Verdict
Not beaten far in any of her hurdles, latterly in two handicaps, shaping better than the bare result on both occasions, latest at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December when losing her pitch leaving the back straight before staying on again; one to consider off 3lb lower.

0-10 but she ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in March and rallied for a respectable fifth at Taunton (good) three weeks ago on her first crack at 3m; shaped last time as though today's extra yardage could be in her favour and she might be in the mix.

Nine-race maiden but she's a reliable sort, runner-up at Hereford (2m4f, good) last time, and looks worth a crack at this sort of trip.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m4f hurdle winner last June and she's held her from well since, most recently back from a 151-day break when a 2.5l second at Hereford 18-days ago ridden by Aimee Jones; likely to make her presence felt again off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles and out of sorts for previous stable on two runs following wind surgery, but came back to somewhere near best when well supported and finishing second on this month's stable debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft); leading candidate off the same mark.

T: Joe Tizzard

Progressive mare who has form figures of 24121 since joining Joe Tizzard and both of those wins have been at Newton Abbot; 5lb higher than for her success over C&D (good) two weeks ago but she still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve; key player.

In this headgear combination for the first time when winning by a length over 2m1f here last month (good) and then beat all bar a Skelton-trained favourite off this 3lb higher mark; looks sure to go well.

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Joe Tizzard

Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a C&D handicap (good; cheekpieces added) last month; there wasn't much separating the first four but a 3lb rise looks fair and her confidence should be boosted after that success; big player again in her bid to make it 2-4 for Joe Tizzard.

Form & Verdict
Showed glimpses of ability in maiden/novice company over hurdles (2m-2m6f; good/good to soft), but proved disappointing when switched to handicaps last time at Ludlow (2m5f); may do better in time but she doesn't appear to be particularly well treated despite being 4lb lower here.

Beaten about 28l when fifth of six here (3m1f, good) last month and is now 0-6 over hurdles; seemed to be travelling okay in the lead before bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of him that day and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but, nevertheless, others have stronger claims; raced only on good/good to soft ground.

Best effort over hurdles when third in a Hereford novice last November; below that form in a couple of handicaps since but she's still lightly raced and she could show more upped in trip off a sliding mark.

Hey Flint

An opening mark of 95 looks tough on the bare form of her qualifying runs but she has fewer convictions than most of these and rates a potential improver in handicaps; interesting contender, particularly if backed.
