Progressive on good ground last summer and appreciated the return to similar conditions when fourth of 14 in a 2m3f handicap at Taunton in December; hard to call her well handicapped but Ben Bromley's claim will help in that respect.

Progressive on good ground last summer and she was back on good ground for latest two starts, winning by a short head under Ben Bromley over C&D on latest; raised 5lb and needs to further her improvement.

J: Bryan Carver

Pulled up on handicap debut at Hereford four weeks ago when back from a break but the soft ground may not have suited; this lightly raced 5yo was progressive on good ground in May-July and it will be no surprise if she gets back on track with a big performance.

Placed in Listed Cheltenham bumper so has plenty of ability and hasn't run too badly in fourth in both hurdle runs; will need to jump better than last time but she's an interesting handicap debutante off this mark.

Only the two wins to her name but she's consistent and finished a respectable 11l sixth of eight in a class 2 at Kempton from out of the weights over Christmas, ridden by Chad Bament who couldn't make use of his full claim; strong stayer who's worth considering, back in class.

Coming on two years since last successful and has gone backwards this season since finishing second here in October; on a very handy mark should wind surgery trigger a return to form.

Three-time hurdle winner who is rated lower over fences after struggling in her first two attempts in late 2021; however, she gave it a right go on returning to this discipline over C&D three weeks ago when conceding the lead only late on (Shaw's Cross runner-up); this is a higher grade but she is entitled to a second look.

Struggled in two chases in late 2021 and has raced exclusively over hurdles since; scored off 5lb higher mark here (2m, soft) in March and might have needed last month's reappearance run but still looks risky on this switch back to fences; usual hood removed; cheekpieces remain.

Third to a good mare at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and fourth to another one at Exeter (2m, good to soft) when again raced freely; this good ground could help and the ability is there to deal with this sort of mark.

Responded well to first-time visor when winning Exeter seller (2m2f, good) last month but was safely held when back in a handicap a fortnight later and her overall profile remains unconvincing.

Justified favouritism in a seller at Exeter (2m2f, good; visor added) two weeks ago but she didn't have to run up to her best in that race and this is much tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do.

Has yet to find any consistency and hasn't offered much in her two handicaps (soft an excuse last time), but she ran okay behind decent mares on her first two runs over hurdles; disappointing if she fails to play a part at this level; visor is a first.
