Form & Verdict
Won off 4lb lower over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December but she didn't shine in last two runs in that sphere; still has potential as a stayer but she needs to kick on again on this switch to fences.

Went close at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December and also ran well when fourth over C&D (soft) in February; current mark is workable but she was very disappointing on good ground last month and would appeal much more on a slower surface.

Not disgraced in two of her last three starts as when fourth of eight at Chepstow (3m, soft) four weeks ago, but this trip on drying ground may be an insufficient test for her now and she looks vulnerable to younger rivals.

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Made it third-time lucky over fences when hammering two rivals at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in December and she found more progress when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) last month; up another 2lb but that latest form looks solid and she's a big player again on her first run after wind surgery.

Two course wins over hurdles and fences, one over C&D; has been below par over fences on her last three starts but it is hoped that a return to hurdling on this track can bring about a revival.

Triple hurdle winner but she's 1-11 over fences and has been well held back in this sphere in her last two starts; on reduced mark and conditions are no problem but she needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Hurdle winner (2m5f) who has had only three runs over fences and was a good front-running second in a Wetherby handicap (2m3f, soft) in January; on same mark after a short break but she still has stamina to prove at this sort of trip and others are more persuasive.

Easily made all in maiden hurdle at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) for Fergal O'Brien in March; creditable third of eight on handicap/chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in October when reappearing for new yard, rallying, but she needs better if she's to turn the tables on runner-up Malaita.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner; opened chasing account at second attempt, finishing with a flourish from unlikely position to lead close home at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in January; no impact when third of five at same track (2m3f) last month but she made some late gains and looks worth another try at this staying trip; not ruled out.

On a long losing run but she wasn't discredited on the back of wind surgery when fourth of six in 2m3f Warwick handicap 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark.

Runner-up at Ludlow last February and now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since; has had wind surgery since last time, which needs to make a big difference.
