Form & Verdict
Winless in her first six races under rules but has since scored twice, more recently making all over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, good; also handles soft) in May; can compete off the same mark here and she jumped soundly when winning over fences at Warwick the time before; high on the list.

Comfortable winner of two soft-ground handicaps (2m6f/3m1f) before creditable third when favourite at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in April; flopped when tried in cheekpieces at Newton Abbot two months ago and they are now removed; position 10lb out of the handicap here demands a big career best.

Form & Verdict
Two wins (2m6f/3m1f) over hurdles last term; has quickly reached the same level over fences, fourth of ten at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) 18 days ago; today's step back up in trip should suit; unlikely to be far away.

T: Ben Case

Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict.

T: Ben Case

Overall record of 4-35 but her last win was a dominant display at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight back at Fakenham last month; risks attached.

J: Harry Bannister

T: Ben Case

Not the force of old but exploited favourable mark when beating Jacks Touch by 21l in two-finisher C&D (soft) contest last month, her second C&D success; also suited by much faster ground but has gone back up 7lb.

Form & Verdict
Came good over hurdles with two 2m3f novice wins towards the end of last season and she made a winning chasing debut in the fog at Catterick (3m1f, soft; finished alone) last month; retains potential; could follow up.

Badly out of form over hurdles and fences since returning last summer from a layoff; lurks on a dangerous mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground but needs to turn a corner.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; 2-4 over hurdles last term; comfortably held by useful rival when second of three in Fontwell novice (2m3f, soft) on chase debut; made odd mistake when only fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield next time; stamina for 3m unproven but could bounce back in first-time tongue-strap.

J: Chad Bament

Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a 3m point; best hurdles effort when beaten a neck on her handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in October but two subsequent runs have been very disappointing (had wind surgery in between); needs to be revived by a switch to fences.

She's 7lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las in April 2023 for Alastair Ralph but that's her sole win from 17 rules attempts and she's been absent since tailing off at Fakenham last April; makes stable debut.
