Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back.

Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up.

Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now.

7 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Won the second of two Irish points, in January 2022; lightly raced for Christian Williams since and although she gave a tenacious display when a close second on bumper debut, her hurdle career came to little, including in two handicaps; intriguing to see what the market says on chase debut for new yard.

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Venetia Williams

Low-mileage 7yo who made an encouraging seasonal/stable/chase debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in February, keeping on well for a clear second; well below that form over C&D last month but sports first-time blinkers today and remains of interest.

10 yo Mare

OR: 94

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins early in career but has lots to prove on chase form since back from absence last March, failing to complete in three of her last four starts; cheekpieces fitted latest (fell at halfway) now discarded; Charlie Deutsch switches to Desert Fortune.

Bumper and dual hurdle winner; 0-7 over fences and jumping lacked fluency when a tailed-off third last time (2m4f, heavy), with that on the back of a fall; stable having plenty of winners but this mare needs to pull her socks up.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a bumper and five hurdles at up to 3m2f, including on soft; entitled to need the run when pulled up on chase debut for new yard in January but might need this too, and regular cheekpieces still left off.

12-race maiden but ran well to be placed in handicap hurdles last spring on final three runs for Stuart Edmunds (3m-3m2f, soft-good) and she'll be in the mix if transferring that form to fences at the first attempt.
