Returned from long absence with two Fontwell wins (2m3f/2m1f) last autumn and started this season in good style when making all at Bangor (2m, good) in May, providing Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies with their first winner together; bound to give it another good go.

Returned from long absence with two Fontwell wins (2m3f/2m1f) last autumn and ended last season with very respectable second at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last month; still on a good mark and will be suited by the quicker ground here; likely contender.

Five-time hurdle winner, most recently at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April; runner-up all three starts since (2m-2m2f, good) and still on a workable mark but the forecast rain reduces her appeal.

Form & Verdict
6-17 over hurdles; won small-field contest by wide margin at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July, after a break, and lost out only narrowly at Worcester (2m4f, good; front pair clear) last month; evidently in very good nick, but rain will not be welcomed.

Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with two good efforts in Class 2 events this summer, the latter on slower-than-ideal ground over C&D last month, and looks the one to beat in this easier race.

Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with good third (just behind My Chiquita) at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is still on a workable mark (even from 1lb out of the weights) but the forecast rain is a worry.

Not without hope back on good ground as they were strong handicaps on too soft a surface when below par the last twice.

Form & Verdict
Placed on consecutive starts before holding on by a nose in busy finish at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July, her seventh hurdling success; combination of slower ground and 4lb rise might leave her vulnerable here, though.

Came second off basement Flat mark on latest outing in January and is well handicapped for this return to hurdling but she's not as good as she was and has become inconsistent; others appeal more.

Seven-time winner over hurdles but 0-12 on Flat (0-10 on the AW); ran respectably when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) last month but she was behind Taranjerine at Lingfield 22 days ago; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Returned from long absence with good second for Harriet Dickin at Worcester (2m, good) in July and drew nicely clear to score by over 7l on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good); subsequent 8lb rise does not look excessive but he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good to soft here.

Refused to race at Wincanton in October so not without risk; won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last August and returned to form with 11l third under Anna Johnston at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December; the winner aside, that latest form is working out well and he could be thereabouts down 2lb.
