Form & Verdict
Pulled up on rules debut in November but fared considerably better on next two outings, more recently when third of five in race won by a subsequent Class 2 handicap winner at Wincanton (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; drops in trip and is likely to encounter slower ground on today's handicap debut but could easily have more to offer.

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m.

4-15 over fences; gained a win at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) in October but hit with a 7lb rise and she's been well held on both outings this year, most recently trailing home last of three at Wincanton (2m, good) three weeks ago; only 2lb lower and now has plenty to prove.

J: Harry Cobden

4-14 over fences; October's Chepstow win (2m3f, good) triggered this career-high mark, off which she was found wanting by some way at Kempton, admittedly in a useful handicap; this shorter trip is another slight query.

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement when very respectable fourth in Wetherby novice (2m, good to soft) in February but was pulled up on subsequent handicap debut (2m4f) and looked rather laboured when well-held third in Fakenham maiden (2m, soft) last time; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces here.

7 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
0-13 over hurdles; ran well from the front when third over C&D (good) last August but not seen since a lesser effort the following month and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal.

Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights.

Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed.

Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten after racing too freely over 2m4f on handicap debut in February but stayed on well for second when dropped to 2m at Plumpton (soft; first-time tongue-tie) a fortnight ago; still needs to learn to settle better but is open to further improvement.

Runner-up twice over 2m7f on slow ground towards end of 2020 but has returned from a long absence with three disappointing runs this year (2m5f-3m; cheekpieces added last time) and it's questionable whether today's drop in trip will suit.
