J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

She made giant strides in quick time in the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster; disappointed at Haydock in May and again after five months off at Newmarket (1m4f, heavy); could resume her progress back on AW but she does now have a point to prove.

9st 9lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

All of her five handicaps have been over longer trips; won two in a row this spring at Lingfield (2m, AW) and completed the hat-trick on turf debut at Doncaster (2m, soft; four ran); disappointing on good to firm in May and her chance is presumably boosted by a return to testing ground on this first run since; interesting to see her market strength, as she's one to consider.

Formerly trained by Joseph O'Brien; now 0-11 and couldn't cope with the winner over 1m6f at Chelmsford last week; frustration may continue.

Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say.

Fair stayer on the Flat (albeit a maiden); third in both handicap hurdles, more recently when upped to 2m7f at Fakenham (good) a fortnight ago, but needs to find something extra here; cheekpieces refitted.

Right back to form in this headgear combination on four different AW tracks; has edged up the weights and is tackling a different calibre of opposition this time; perhaps vulnerable.

Useful dual-purpose performer who was placed on the AW (2m) and over hurdles before pulling up in a handicap at the Cheltenham Festival; might not benefit from a tactical race but can make his presence felt.

Needs to jump better than in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle last month; however, in the circumstances that staying-on 22l 11th of 14 was a pretty positive run in the context of him now being in a handicap and up in trip; could be sharper since that first start in four months and he won a Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m, good) last November; won on soft on Flat; interesting.

Flat scorer, including on soft, who won a maiden here (2m, good) in October on his second hurdle start and followed up in the Grade 2 Supreme Trial here (2m, good) in November when last seen; however, it wasn't a great race for the grade last time; a long way down the pecking order on form.
