Form & Verdict
0-7, best effort when 15l fourth in a mares' novice at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in November; pulled up both starts switched to handicaps this year, including on April's return from wind surgery when also fitted with a tongue-tie; others make more appeal.

Has been chasing and won around Hereford in November (3m1f, good; won on soft), despite jumping out to her left; repeated the dose when only fourth there last month; returns to hurdling off a useful mark (without taking into account Murray Dodd's claim) and she's won twice in this discipline.

0-22 Flat/hurdling; produced three solid efforts in today's headgear combination last season for Rebecca Menzies, most recently when a neck second at Perth (2m4f, good) in August; has gone well on the back of a break before and looks weighted to be thereabouts again on stable debut.

Bumper winner who is still unexposed over hurdles; lacked the pace to land a telling blow on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) but kept on well and was beaten under 5l in the end; that was her first run since last summer and it might have done her good.

Showed ability over fences when trained in France; best run for this trainer when third at Ayr (2m4f, heavy) but that was over two years ago; pulled up (reportedly lost action) in January on return from a 714-day absence and has a fair bit to prove at present; others have a more persuasive case.

Form & Verdict
Well held in her three completed starts over hurdles but she attracted the attention of the stewards when making some late headway at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in March; failed to build on that on this month's return but she brings potential now entering handicaps with her pedigree suggesting she'll be suited by this step up in distance; a likely contender, especially if strong in the market.

Form & Verdict
0-7 under rules; best effort last season when second at Sandown (2m4f) in December, behind a mare who subsequently won at Cheltenham; well below that level since; however, she can't be ruled out in the context of this race, down another 2lb, if the hood should prove a positive addition.

Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield.

Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance.
