Form & Verdict
Had just one other finisher to beat in a point at Hexham in November; hard to weigh up on that evidence but has a useful pedigree (dam won a bumper) and represents powerful connections so has to be considered.

Useful mare who completed the full jumps set with her commanding performance in Listed novice event at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft; second chase attempt) last month, adding to her point, bumper and hurdle wins; acts on soft; major contender even with 5lb penalty back against males.

Ran well in defeat in Graded novice hurdles on final two starts last season (2m4f/3m, soft) and reappeared with respectable third of three against males on chase debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October; the return to a left-handed track could suit and she's one to consider.

C&D winner on this card last year and made it 5-9 here when making all to defeat Sir Galahad by 3l three weeks ago; 6lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but lots to like otherwise.

5 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Failed to complete in her first two points but made amends with a clearcut win in December (yielding to soft) and has joined a stable (for £38,000) with an impressive strike-rate in this sphere in recent seasons.

Yet to win (0-10); is now rated 6lb lower than when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft; for Emma Lavelle) over two years ago; reportedly bled from the nose when fourth of six at Warwick (2m; in an added tongue-tie) seven weeks ago; risks attached.

She's on a competitive mark on what she showed in 2024 for Emma Lavelle and she was returning from a long absence when tailed off at 80-1 at Haydock three weeks ago; however, it's hard to be confident about her claims.

Wyenot

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Henry Daly

Five-time hurdle winner with a good strike-rate, one she enhanced when prevailing in a classy small-field beginners' chase at Ludlow (3m, good); remote last of three in a Listed chase for mares at Warwick where soft ground was no good to her (fine on good to soft); has since had wind surgery and retains potential as a chaser.
