Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 7yo; made quite promising chase debut when third of five (just behind Santa Clarita) here (2m3f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) in March but was towards rear throughout when upped to 3m at Southwell a fortnight ago and it's hard to know what to expect from her after that.

Lightly raced 7yo mare who made quite promising chase debut when third of five at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) last month; needs to build on that performance here but has possibilities if the different trip-and-ground combination suits.

Back on track with last month's Huntingdon fourth (3m, good), but once again couldn't tease out her resources for long enough and the change of headgear looks worth a go; player if that works with mark never lower.

Form & Verdict
Finished with a rattle to lead close home at Taunton (3m2f, good; first start since rejoining Henry Oliver) a fortnight ago and is now 3-9 over fences; nudged up only 1lb for that and this left-handed track should also suit; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Ex-pointer who won a hunter chase and two Newton Abbot handicap chases (2m5f/3m2f) last spring/summer but seems to have lost her way since the autumn; getting back on decent ground will probably aid her cause but she still has a lot to prove, and cheekpieces didn't do much for her when used two starts ago.

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences.

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams.

Not the force of old and 0-10 over fences; returns from seven-month absence on a good mark but has stamina to prove (usually runs over 2m4f) and would appeal more on genuine good ground.
