Form & Verdict
Below par on two of her last three outings, including latest when returned to the sound surface of her one career success; hasn't shaped as if in need of this second crack at a stayers' trip (pulled up in the first).

Under the pump a long way out when a 5l fourth at Stratford in early September (2m6f, good) and might be on a high enough mark now, but she's consistent and should be fitter than some in here; respected.

7 yo Mare

OR: 122

Form & Verdict
Effectively a 0-135 mares' handicap she took in course record time at Kempton over Christmas (good); can throw in the odd poor effort and there's something to take on trust after she stopped early on latest start (made a noise) but she's in the mix if all is well with her.

Reappeared with good second to Rockola Vogue in Ascot handicap (2m7f, good) in November then went one better at Kempton (3m, good) in December; she needs another step forward now up in grade but things appear to have clicked for this lightly raced 7yo and she could be a contender.

6 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Her worst performance in Irish points had been recorded on soft, so perhaps February's Plumpton failure on similar ground ought not to have surprised; nicely progressive in staying handicaps otherwise with wins at Taunton and Ascot, though the 7lb rise since the latter asks a stiff question.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Emma Lavelle

Irish point winner who won two handicaps over hurdles last season and was a fair third behind a subsequent winner at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in her final run in the spring; returns after 176 days off but she's still lightly raced and needs a close look on her chase debut.

Showed improved form and a willing attitude to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Taunton (good to soft) in January, keeping on stoutly over an extended 3m; ran poorly when favourite at Plumpton (extended 2m4f, soft) five weeks ago, but considered on the former effort.

Form & Verdict
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still.

Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher.
