Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect.

Form & Verdict
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
Beat 1-9 favourite when winning two-runner edition of this race a year ago (good ground) and was in front before last-fence unseat over C&D (good to soft) in October; returned from break with low-key run last month but remains lightly raced for her age, and her course form is a selling point.

Won a match at Fakenham in April last year and would possibly have doubled her score back at that venue but for unseating at the last in October, returns from another break and hard to be confident she'd repeat the effort.

Won a match over C&D in April (in this headgear) but that effort stands out among otherwise modest form and she was pulled up when last seen later that month; returns from a six-month break with a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Slightly disappointing at Southwell 12 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but her close third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) was a pretty good effort and she has possibilities here if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m5f.

Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest.

Form & Verdict
Arrested her decline when placed in valuable final of this mares' series here (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in January; two lesser efforts have followed and she's unreliable nowadays but she could be too good for this field if perked up by a change of headgear.

Placed in valuable series final over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January but rest of last season's form was disappointing and it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood for this return to hurdling; tried blinkers when pulled up last time; usual cheekpieces return.

Made all in this race on good ground a year ago and returned to some form with third in a valuable series final at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January; however, not so good when back at Fakenham last month and this regressive 10yo has become unreliable.
