Sound-surface wins in another C&D 0-120, a Cartmel hurdle and a Witton Castle open point since May; never travelling at Uttoxeter latest (first loss under Brian Hughes), but is one proven capable of bouncing back.

Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected.

OR: 73

Form & Verdict
Kept on well to open account at Southwell (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) ten days ago, her 11th chase and her 27th career start; it's hard to tell whether she'll build on that success but, nevertheless, she enters calculations; carries 7lb penalty but due to go up by that much anyway.

High-mileage mare who is not very consistent but has collected two wins this season, the latter at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) 24 days ago; not yet fully exposed over marathon trips; a possible if in the right mood again.

Soundly beaten in February, after a layoff, but looked set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month, and this move back up in trip will probably suit (placed over 3m3f last summer).

All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best.

Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut in March but is 2-2 since switched to fences this season; beat only two rivals when upped to 3m at Fakenham (good) last month but did so easily; likely contender.
