Form & Verdict
It was a Class 5 that she won decisively over C&D in June and the 8lb rise appeared to find her out on the promotion to a Class 3 back here (again good to soft) three weeks ago, though again she ran well; heading in the right direction after a long absence and certainly not discounted.

Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat.

T: Tim Vaughan

Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play.

Ex-Irish mare with a record of 1-24 and has been tailed off since her close third at Epsom (1m4f; last run on soft ground); rain is welcomed but that might not be enough.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 88

Form & Verdict
Last season didn't begin until September but he rattled off a hat-trick later in the year (at about 1m2f on AW); added a further success over this trip during what was a consistent campaign until blowing out over 1m4f on the other course here in May (absent since); his previous second (on soft) brings him into it off the same mark.

Second to Sax Appeal over C&D and successful over 1m6f at Wolverhampton (both off 2lb higher than today) last July; it's hard to be enthused by his more recent efforts, including well held at Newcastle on Good Friday, but this is a much less competitive scenario.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have come over this trip on the AW, but he nearly made the breakthrough on grass when beaten a neck on the Rowley mile (good) in May; fared less well at Doncaster though and he's unraced on turf softer than good.
