Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner (2m4f/2m5f) who has made a solid start to her chasing career this season, finishing third in three handicaps (3m-3m2f); drops back in trip with first-time cheekpieces here; has good chance at the weights and will presumably be ridden very positively.

A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but she has been pulled up all three starts over fences this season, latest at Huntingdon (3m) in January; has lots to prove back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Not seen over fences since respectable fourth in much stronger race than this on chasing debut at Ffos Las in December 2022 and, following a long absence, has not been at her best in three Class 3 handicap hurdles this year; however, she can't be ignored on these more favourable terms.

Scored off this mark over fences at Ludlow (3m, good) in October and ran quite well when fourth in 2m5f hurdle there (good to soft) in February, but the addition of cheekpieces did not appear to help much two starts ago and she was again below par (without headgear) last month.

Kept on well for second in recent Ludlow handicap chase (3m, soft; refitted cheekpieces) on second run after a mammoth absence, but was competing off a lowly mark there and has a lot more on her plate here.

Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival.

Became disappointing over hurdles last year and dropped out of contention very tamely in home straight when switched to chasing at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in January; needs to turn a corner.

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner who has made the frame in all four chases this season, most recently when second of four at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) ten days ago; has shown a tendency to jump left so today's switch to an anti-clockwise track ought to suit; major player.

Three chase wins last season, the first two over C&D (good/good to soft); not beaten far when last of six at Cheltenham in April but remains on career-high mark for this reappearance run and takes on some unexposed rivals.
