Only fourth at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) recently and she's untested at this trip; however, she kept on for a fair third at Hereford (2m3f, soft) two starts ago and this lightly raced 6yo is not ruled for her good yard.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful Flat-racer who has made the frame on all four hurdling starts; perhaps a shade disappointing when well-held second at Market Rasen (2m, good) last time and today's forecast slower ground may not be ideal, but he sets a clear form standard.

Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating.

Disappointing favourite on debut in November but his fourth at Ludlow (2m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was much more encouraging; needs to progress again here but has plenty of scope to do so.

Two chase wins towards the end of last year (2m3f, good to soft) and did well to finish third of five at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month having made mistakes; pulled up over 3m4f last January on sole previous run beyond 2m5f but he's worth a go at this trip; could go well if finding fluency.
