Form & Verdict
Not seen since two heavy defeats over hurdles in the spring but won much more competitive chase than this off today's mark at Taunton (2m5f, good to soft) in January and will be hard to beat if back on song after her break; effective on good ground; unraced on anything quicker.

Kept on for very respectable third behind Shirocco's Dream and Do You Think over C&D (good) in November and is now 8lb lower but this regressive 11yo has not been firing on all cylinders for a good while now and was pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) on her latest appearance.

Not firing on all cylinders this season but has become well handicapped, and seemed to be travelling pretty well in second place before slipping and unseating rider on home turn at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) recently.

10 yo Mare

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Ran well in one of her three chases in Ireland in 2019 but has raced exclusively over hurdles since switching to current stable in 2020; found 3m on soft ground too taxing last month but was in good form beforehand, notably when winning at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July.

Returned to form to win four-runner Newton Abbot race (2m2f, good) in June and is still on a good mark but two poor performances have followed and it's hard to know what to expect today.

Her sole win from 33 starts was on the Flat in 2019 and she's struggled back over fences in last four runs; out of the weights again and can only be watched.
