Form & Verdict
Inconsistent in 2022 and failed to threaten when sixth of nine over C&D on New Year's Day; however, it wasn't a bad run and she could build on that first outing for 72 days; on a competitive mark and not ruled out.

Flat winner extended record over hurdles to 0-17 at Punchestown four days ago but wasn't disgraced; went close in lower grade at Tramore in August off 1lb lower; each-way claims with a reproduction of that.

C&D scorer but she came in a below-par fifth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; she could bounce back though with Oisin Murphy now up.

Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

All six wins have been on AW including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for her last success but she returns after 405 days off and this is competitive on her comeback; down the list.

Form & Verdict
Has run twice for this yard (5f/7f) and has failed to progress from her promising debut third for the Crisfords (7f, Tapeta); however, the step up to 1m could be a big plus on handicap debut; firmly in calculations.

First past the post for the fifth time on the AW at Kempton last month, only to be disqualified for hanging left and hampering Kinetic; nudged up 2lb but she should still be competitive and she's twice a winner here.

The handicapper has been on top since her maiden win at Beverley in June; pulled up at Chelmsford last month (reportedly took a false step turning into the home straight); a career best is required.
