Form & Verdict
Triple hurdle winner who scored off 3lb higher at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last February; some creditable efforts since but she didn't fire in a mares' handicap at Market Rasen (tenth of 12) last month; needs to step up again after that and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Won on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November but has mixed record in three subsequent runs and was tailed off at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) last month; still has low mileage but she's been hard to predict and needs to bounce back again.

Looked a bit unlucky not to win at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft) but wouldn't be certain to run as well again given her inconsistency; 5lb above the only mark she's defied in a handicap and a 7lb claimer was employed last time.

Won on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November and put a poor run behind her when fourth of 17 at Newbury (3m, good to soft) month, where a last-flight jumping error cost her momentum; suited by soft ground (unraced on heavy) and still unexposed at around 3m.

Form & Verdict
In good form in spring of 2024; returned from long absence with two low-key runs in November but, after another break, she ran well to a point when fifth of 13 at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights and she's not ruled out with cheekpieces added.

Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here.

Unexposed 5yo who was turned over as favourite in a mares' maiden at Huntingdon (2m5f, heavy) last month but she was only beaten around 2l in third of nine; should have more to offer now switched to handicapping and she needs a close look for in-form yard.

15-race maiden who has pulled up in three of her last five races but she went close at Doncaster (3m, good) on her penultimate run last season; returns for new yard after 12 months off but she's on a workable mark and needs watching in the betting.

2-3 for this yard after 2m7f/2m4f good-ground wins around Fakenham; dictated modest fractions the last time and this will be tougher off 4lb higher, but she doesn't have to lead and has to be respected.

0-15 over hurdles but posted some good efforts for the Joel Parkinson-Sue Smith stable last term and ran a big race when fifth on recent seasonal/stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft); will be suited by this move back up in trip; one to consider.

Seven-time hurdle winner who is versatile trip-wise; came up a bit short when favourite for a claimer at Catterick (1m7f, good) three weeks ago but she rallied well in that race and looks interesting off a dangerous mark back in a handicap.
