Won a point bumper and followed up in a 2m4f maiden; unbeaten over hurdles after minor wins over 2m at Hereford (soft) and Chepstow (good to soft); should stay this longer trip fine but on the face of it these terms look tough.

Won a point bumper and a British maiden point (2m4f) before finishing runner-up in an Aintree bumper in May (all on good ground); goes hurdling having had wind surgery; interesting newcomer.

Form & Verdict
Second of four on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November but the value of that form is open to question and she was safely held on her next two outings; others look stronger.

0-5 over hurdles for Harriet Dicken but signed off for her with respectable fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month, where her margin of defeat was magnified by a penultimate-flight error; drops back in trip for stable debut (same owners); interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with her.

Second of four on hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November but she's not gone on from that and was a remote third in a Chepstow maiden last month; now switches to a handicap needing improvement on this step up in trip.

Well-bred mare; made a low-key start to her hurdling career but kept on for respectable third on recent handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and could easily have more to offer over fences.

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Half-sister to three hurdle winners including the smart Polly Peachum (2m-2m6f); well held at big prices in both completed starts over hurdles but she's had only four runs and it wouldn't be a surprise if she showed a lot more on this handicap debut; needs a close look in the market.
