On previous precedent last month's Kelso return run will likely have been needed; obviously very exposed, but better than a 1-32 record over hurdles implies and mark has never been more attractive.

Form & Verdict
Well below par on the Flat last time but had fallen just a nose short of landing a Fakenham maiden hurdle three starts prior (2m, good); opening mark no gift even next to that peak effort, and the early mistakes of his last two hurdles starts can't afford to be repeated.

Form & Verdict
Getting closer to her 2022 best again since cheekpieces were fitted, scoring at Cartmel in June (2m6f, good) and achieving more still in defeat last time; stamina to spare dropped back to a sub-2m4f trip for the first time since March, and just a case of how she responds to the headgear's absence.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then won over fences at Catterick (3m1f, soft); ran pretty well when 5l third of three in Sedgefield chase (3m2f, good) last time; arrives in good heart and there can be optimism that she'll be fine now back down in trip; possible player.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then made it 3-6 over fences when winning at Catterick (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; it was a weak race last time but she's unexposed over fences and could still have more to offer in this sphere; respected.

0-17 over hurdles versus 3-10 in chases, and whilst not ineffective on good ground she's gained all her wins (one here) with the mud flying; risks attached, being unseen since bleeding from the nose in March.
