Form & Verdict
Fair Flat-racer who was placed in quite valuable juvenile hurdle on stable debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in November; had limitations exposed in Listed races on next two hurdling starts but will find this easier and has a major role to play if coping with the trip-and-ground combination.

Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
0-13 over hurdles in Ireland but showed fair form when placed on several occasions, and did not need to improve to win modest Uttoxeter maiden (2m, heavy) comfortably on recent stable debut; will be fine over today's longer trip; good chance.

Record is only 1-21 and her handicap form is unconvincing; however, last two efforts (2m4f) suggest this combination of new trip and new headgear may help.

Easily won Irish point just over a year ago (good to yielding) but made low-key rules debut in Downpatrick hunter chase last May and has not raced again since; market may point the way on stable/hurdle debut.

Form & Verdict
1-9 on the Flat for Karl Burke, the win gained on Tapeta (1m3f; RPR 72) 13 months ago; could make a hurdler but this first attempt comes after a 329-day absence, and she's unraced on ground slower than good.
