Form & Verdict
A maiden after ten starts but hasn't been with Marco Botti long, and ran big race in defeat in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge up the weights takes effect; obvious contender if in similar form again.

Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations.

Fair 1m2f Flat scorer; progressing really well in this sphere and she cosily got off the mark over 2m2f here two weeks ago; up 3lb but this strong-travelling sort is capable of better still; leading claims.

Five-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; lightly raced hurdler who ran well for a long way on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and she'd approve should conditions be drier here.

Form & Verdict
Campaigned mainly as a sprinter but was evidently suited by step up to 7f when narrow winner at Epsom (7f, good to firm) eight days ago; only due to go up 4lb for that but still warrants consideration under 6lb penalty.

Stamina issues over hurdles and happier back on the Flat when coming away with Voodoo Bay over C&D a week ago; is 5lb better off today, which gives her every chance of turning things round for a yard in good nick, but she's 0-17 under both codes.

Well handicapped on her best 7f form last season, but she's struggled in five runs over hurdles this year; overall record now stands at 0-17 and she comes with risks attached back on the Flat; tongue-tie removed.

Losing run now up to 15 and she has slid down the weights during an inconsistent season; capable still at this level but she's odds-on to pull hard and has had issues at the stalls of late, so isn't without risk.
