Form & Verdict
Started off for Fergal O'Brien with two wins in the summer (2m/2m3f) then gave another good account when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) last month; another 2lb higher here but might still be improving.

J: Miss Ellie Callwood

T: Kelly Morgan

Unlucky to lose last June's Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) on a medical technicality; wheels came off in the autumn but she has revived for current yard, keeping on well for Higham and High Easter open successes on good to firm; could prove the answer.

Unlucky to lose June's hard-fought Uttoxeter chase win (3m, good) off this mark, when an ovarian tumour removed a month later was found to have increased her testosterone levels; effectiveness at today's shorter trip is long proven and this looks an easier contest than the 0-120 last time.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner on good to soft ground last season; not seen since a disappointing run in May but, after only seven hurdle starts, this 5yo may still have potential.

J: Sean Bowen

Did well for Henry Daly and continuing her good work for this yard, last time running her usual honest race behind one who made most at Perth (3m, good; fine at 2m4f); she has got herself high in the weights but unlikey to be far away.

Signed off for Henry Daly with win at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in May and collected small-field races on first two starts for Jack Jones (3m/2m7f, good); subsequent Worcester third (2m7f, good) was perfectly respectable but current mark may demand a career best.

7 yo Mare

OR: 123

Form & Verdict
Had rather mixed record over fences last season and has been off since a poor run at Cheltenham in April but she's a useful hurdler who reverts to this discipline on a good mark; effective on good and soft ground; can't be ruled out.

Sole success from nine chase starts came in a match but there was nothing wrong with her effort when going down narrowly in a 2m4f chase at Ludlow three weeks ago (good) and that was a useful race for the grade; respected.

Sole success from eight chase starts came in a match; tailed off at Cheltenham last month (2m, good) and was behind Royale Margaux; this is probably a better trip for her and for that reason she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Made smooth headway before asserting in pretty good style on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; went up 9lb for that and is 1lb out of the weights in this higher-grade race but could easily have more to offer; placed in a bumper on good to soft; untested on anything slower.

Likely unsuited by soft ground last time and is better judged on her respectable form earlier in November; however, has something to prove back over 2m, having looked best at 2m3f/2m4f.
