Form & Verdict
Only sixth of seven when joint-favourite at Sedgefield three weeks ago but she's better than that and was a fairly encouraging second on her chase debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; won here over hurdles and may be suited by the step up in trip; not ruled out.

Consistent and progressive mare with two chase wins here this spring; only third (off 9lb lower) when last seen over hurdles six months ago but has improved since; fair chance if able to transfer her chasing form.

Form & Verdict
Has improved for the switch to fences this season, winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in November and finishing second at Hereford (3m1f, soft) last time behind one who has followed up; leading claims.

Behind stablemate Blackjack Magic when seventh in final of this veterans' series at Sandown in January and was soundly beaten in major Ascot handicap last month but her first two runs this season were very respectable and she's now 3lb lower than when winning this race in 2025.

In-form mare who won four-runner veterans' chase fairly comfortably at Carlisle (3m, good) a week ago and is now 2-3 since fitted with a visor; has 6lb penalty to carry today but is respected in her current mood.

7 yo Mare

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
Well-beaten second at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) last time when the trip shouldn't have been an issue, but she wasn't the only one to run below form in that race and she'd previously shown promise in defeat in her first two chases (2m6f/2m4f, good); could be involved if bouncing back.

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.

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.

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
Ran well when second of three in this last year (good ground) and went one better over C&D (soft) next time; has failed to fire since but perhaps a wind op will have done the trick and she's off her last winning mark.
