Returned from break with wide-margin win in three-runner contest at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; the value of that form is open to question (leader crashed through rail and ran out in home straight) but she remains unexposed over this sort of trip and the handicapper has been pragmatic in raising her 4lb.

Kitty Foyle

J: Robbie David

T: Daisy Hitchins

Won a Flat handicap (1m6f, soft) and a novice hurdle (2m1f, good) last autumn; mixed record under both codes since then but she's been highly tried in last four hurdle runs and was third in a Listed race at Taunton last December; now returns to jumping after a short break and needs watching in market on handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Point winner on good ground over 2m4f; bumper winner on heavy and won his maiden here on soft (1m7f); nearly went in again in a Taunton novice last time but this is a huge hike in trip for only his second handicap, having never raced beyond 2m1f under rules.

Something went wrong when favourite on handicap debut last time but previous bumper (including on good ground) and hurdles form makes him one of the leading candidates in this line-up.

Useful bumper performer who won a Wincanton maiden (1m7f, soft) on last month's hurdle debut and was not discredited when fourth at Sandown (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; should have some improvement to come in handicaps; leading contender.

Form & Verdict
All three wins on good ground; won a 2m3f handicap at Warwick pretty easily and followed up back in novice company; well held since but he was returning from a lengthy break when pulling way too hard to Ludlow last month (2m5f); will need to settle if he's to stay this far but Harry Cobden takes over.

Two hurdle wins last June and latest was over C&D (good); no joy in just three runs since but he was in lead when he ran out and crashed through the rails before the second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; has possibilities if he can maintain his focus this time and he's well handicapped on his best form.

Came good with comfortable handicap win at Warwick (2m3f) in June and easily followed up in modest novice event at Newton Abbot (2m5f) three weeks later; didn't shape too badly when fourth at Ascot (about 2m3f, also good) on his November comeback but absent since; can race freely but this drying ground should suit and he's respected.
