Form & Verdict
Hurdle winner on soft but two chase wins in 2025 were on good to soft, latterly at Cheltenham (about 2m4f) in December, and failures since have come on heavy and soft; needs to jump better than she did at Ludlow in February (over 17l behind Malaita) but she could revive back on good ground.

10st 3lb

J: Ciaran Gethings

Won four-runner mares' chase at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month and is now 4-9 over fences; this race is much more competitive but she could have untapped potential over 3m.

Form & Verdict
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely.

10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song.

OR: 99

Form & Verdict
Has a fondness for Fakenham and she put up a good show when winning her second chase on that track (2m5f, good to soft) in January from out of the weights; has continued in form there since but others might be stronger finishers away from that track.

Won for the second time here, but the first over this distance, in January at 40-1; unlucky not to finish closer when second of three finishers back over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and must be on the shortlist.

Made it 2-3 here when coming from off the pace on good to soft a month ago and that was from 6lb out of the weights; that was a return to form from nowhere but it was her first go over this far under rules; 4lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Won sole Irish point and two of three novice hurdles (both 2m3f, good to soft); shaky transition to fences but she jumped soundly in a five-runner Newbury race in February before stopping to nothing under pressure; wind surgery since could have helped; retains potential.

2-3 as a novice hurdler during 2024-25 season but 0-5 and generally disappointing since switched to chasing in November; didn't run badly when third of four in higher-grade event here (2m4f, good) last month, though, and is still unexposed over this sort of trip.

Irish point winner who won two of her three novice hurdles (both 2m3f, good to soft) but she's made a shaky transition to fences; ran well to a point when runner-up at Newbury in February but she was pulled up after making a bad mistake at Hereford (first run after surgery) last month; that took her chase record to 0-4 and others are more convincing.
