Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles; runner-up twice on heavy ground this winter (2m7f/3m1f) and a recent 2lb drop helps but she may not be ideally suited by today's quicker conditions.

Ran as though something was amiss at Plumpton one month ago and needs to put that behind her but was 23l clear of the third when close second over C&D (good to soft) in November and is only 2lb higher today; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Runner-up twice over this trip at Fakenham last season, losing out only by a short head off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces on latter occasion; below form on recent outings, though, and needs today's headgear switch to give her a boost.

Runner-up here once last term; now a 12-race maiden under rules, with two close seconds at Fakenham (2m7f, good/good to soft) as this season's easily best efforts; pulled up on chase debut 13 days ago; this trip looks worth a go and there are no ground worries but she's been inconsistent.

Form & Verdict
Suited by good ground and was placed on consecutive appearances at start of this season (2m4f/3m); not seen since falling heavily last June but is unexposed over this sort of trip and will be dangerous if fully tuned up.

Bounced back to form with clearcut win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April and was placed off today's mark there the following month but her subsequent hurdle run was underwhelming and she needs to be perked up by a change of headgear.

Suffered significant dip in form last season but returned from ten-week break with 5l win over C&D (good to soft) last month and remains well handicapped after a 3lb rise; will have something to prove if the ground turns soft but, otherwise, has strong claims.

Made unconvincing chase debut when last of three finishers here last month and now quickly reverts to hurdling; remains lightly raced but needs to take a big step forward from her first two handicap hurdle runs.

5 yo Filly

OR: 99

Form & Verdict
Placed in a bumper last season and displayed at least some promise on all three hurdling starts in the autumn (1m7f-2m); her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern over today's much longer trip but she has stamina in her pedigree and is open to improvement in handicaps.

Two C&D wins last spring but has struggled this year; better at Stratford eight days ago and chance may depend of effect of cheekpieces (returning in place of usual tongue-strap); much prefers quick ground.
