Form & Verdict
Fast-improving mare who won easily on chasing debut at Worcester (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) 12 days ago and has quickly added two easy hurdle wins (2m4f/2m, good) to her tally; probably still a long way ahead of the handicapper and can continue her winning spree here.

Beorma

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Has proved to be a revelation since being fitted with a tongue-tie, winning her last seven races and remains unbeaten in four runs over fences; there is not knowing when this winning streak will come to an end but she still looks to be ahead of the handicapper and the one to beat once more.

J: Harry Skelton

Effectively runs off 3lb lower here than when last week's chase success in a Newton Abbot match (2m, good) completed her six-timer inside 15 days; unraced right-handed so far during her winning streak, but no real reason why that or the return to hurdling should present a problem; 10lb well in.

Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago.

Won a C&D handicap in April and was runner-up at Southwell last month but he's not easy to predict and was well below form at Stratford last time; that took his chase record to 1-15 and he needs to bounce back again.

Record of 1-14 over fences but that win came at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April and he was a front-running second behind a major improver at Southwell (2m, good) last time; this is a different test but his hurdles win was over 2m4f and he still looks feasibly treated; interesting contender.

Needs to rebound from last month's poor hurdle run but was second in two good-ground C&D chases last summer (including this race) and has slipped to a good mark; will be dangerous if back on song in first-time cheekpieces.
