Form & Verdict
Won a chase here (2m5f, good) last May and returned to form with 66-1 second in soft-ground C&D hurdle in December; safely held twice since and too inconsistent to rely upon, but still features prominently in calculations.

Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m7f) in April but she made mistakes when a remote third of five in 2m5f handicap chase there 12 days ago; needs to get back on track.

Won this race a year ago and was also on target over hurdles here (2m7f, good) last month; again ran well when second in 3m chase (good) three weeks ago but is effectively 10lb higher from out of the weights today.

T: Tracey Leeson

Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Maiden point winner in 2024; showed no significant promise in maiden hurdles this season (2m-2m4f; refused to race on one occasion) and is 14lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; needs combination of longer trip and new tongue-tie to enable significant improvement.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in latest qualifying race (raced too freely) but her midfield finish at Kempton (2m, good to soft) two starts ago was promising, and her pedigree suggests she'll be suited by this hike up in trip on her handicap debut.

Ordinary form in bumpers; slightly better, without getting competitive, in two attempts over hurdles, the latest at Kempton (2m mares' maiden; eighth of 16; 250-1) over a month ago; handicapping awaits.

Form & Verdict
Won 2m maiden hurdle here (good) last April but both handicap runs over that trip this year have been very disappointing; getting back on good ground ought to aid her cause, but she failed to convince stamina-wise when tried over 2m5f last spring and has even further to go today; cheekpieces added.

C&D maiden winner last April (good) but campaign ended abruptly after needing treatment for post-race ataxia next time; soft ground and absence offer some excuses for tame return, but still a bit to take on trust.
