Has won two small-field mares chases at Leicester (2m4f, good; by 3l from Auditoria) and Wincanton (2m4f, good; Auditoria third) on last two starts; still feasibly treated and has a chance.

Plenty to find with Methodtothemagic on Leicester form in February (2m6f, good) but has done better since returned to 2m4f on last two starts, making all at Leicester and Wincanton (good/good to soft); has a stamina query beyond that trip.

Irish point winner who has consistent rules form, most recently second behind the only other finisher at Fontwell (2m2f, soft; ran creditably on RPRs) on chase debut; still open to progress over fences and enters calculations.

T: Kelly Morgan

Unlucky to lose last June's Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) on a medical technicality; wheels came off in the autumn but she has revived for current yard, keeping on well for Higham and High Easter open successes on good to firm; could prove the answer.

J: Mr Ben Sutton

T: Fergal O’Brien

Unlucky to lose June's hard-fought Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) off this mark, when an ovarian tumour removed a month later was found to have increased her testosterone levels; effectiveness at today's shorter trip is long proven and this looks an easier contest than the 0-120 last time.

Form & Verdict
Took well to first-time visor in similar event at Taunton (2m5f, good to soft; opened her chase account) last week, jumping well apart from a final-fence blunder; value for more than the winning margin and warrants respect under 7lb penalty.

Back over hurdles for her last three races (2m4f-3m2f) and found just one too good in the penultimate one; had no excuses when beaten 24l in the latest and she has a modest strike-rate.

Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on May's hurdling return at Stratford and appreciated the return to shorter when a front-running second at Southwell (2m4f, good) latest; back up 3lb but solid claims.

Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on last month's hurdling return at Stratford but put in a pretty good front-running shift there and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; on a good mark; no surprise if she features.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite on latest hurdles start (3m2f), taking overall record to 0-11; however, this switch to chasing and first-time headgear are possible sources of improvement; possibilities off reduced mark.

In-form 10yo who won over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) in November and over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) last month; 6lb rise has now kicked in but she ran another solid race at Huntingdon last week and she remains well treated on old form; should go well again back over fences.
