Never looked happy when a remote third to the reopposing Astronomic View at Warwick (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago and now has headgear refitted for the first time since joining this yard; had been in good form prior to that latest run.

Form & Verdict
Had some good staying form on good and soft ground in 2021 but hasn't recaptured it since back from 12 months off and last month's Exeter run wasn't encouraging; now goes in cheekpieces.

Formerly a very capable hurdler; has returned to fences the last twice and been well held, latterly behind Shirocco's Dream over C&D.

Fairly useful hurdler in her prime and went close in a C&D chase in 2021 but wasn't at her best last season and is not favoured by the weights on this first start for five months.

Form & Verdict
Taken mighty step forward since returned to 3m+ and switched to fences, coming home without a care in the world at Warwick last month (good; acts on soft); obvious chance of exploiting the same mark back hurdling.

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.

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over 2m7f at Fakenham last May (good); ran well back there in January (good to soft) but has completed only once on soft (beaten a long way on return from layoff) and worsening ground would raise a question; 2lb out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m2f winner in France (good/very soft); modest debut for this yard at Leicester in February and although running better at Huntingdon last week (2m4f, soft) it didn't answer the stamina question; due 2lb drop.
