Form & Verdict
Probably showed career-best form when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; 7lb rise asks quite a lot of her but this C&D also suits and the headgear may prompt further improvement; big player.

Made all in small-field C&D (good) contest last month and now 2-2 since cheekpieces were added; another 4lb higher today but the headgear may unlock further improvement; likely contender.

Fairly consistent in a good few handicaps until running below par last time when 3m1f shouldn't have been an issue, though good to soft might have been (seems best on good); wouldn't rule out in the new cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten at triple-digit odds in her three qualifying races (2m-2m3f) but fared much better when third of seven on recent handicap debut at Warwick (3m2f, good); that was a modest contest but she remains lightly raced.

Third in a point-to-point bumper last April; tailed off at massive odds on her three hurdle starts (2m/2m3f) but now goes handicapping at a longer trip off a lowly mark and there's stamina in her pedigree; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

Four-time chase winner (once over C&D); soundly beaten over hurdles in February, after a long absence, and didn't achieve much when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in April; reverts to chasing on a good mark but her current ability is hard to gauge.

7 yo Mare

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Came good under rules at Huntingdon (2m3f, heavy) in February, her second handicap; found one just too strong when odds-on to follow up at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) last month but was given a wind op soon afterwards and now moves up in trip; probably still has potential.

Stable debut at Leicester in January landed her amateur rider in hot water, but she made no mistake under Sean Bowen at Huntingdon (2m4f, heavy) last month; up 8lb and it remains to be seen if testing ground is important to her, but she remains unexposed; should be hard to beat.

Irish point winner; picked up for £15,000 in October after heavy defeats in non-handicaps for previous yard; favourite for stable debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) after an absence but never got involved for a jockey having her first ride under rules; plenty to find with After Many Days on that run but Sean Bowen now takes over.
