J: Tom Bellamy

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Four-time hurdle winner; returned from 688-day absence with low-key run on soft ground in April and absent for another six months since; ought to be better suited by the quicker conditions here but her current ability is hard to gauge.

Bumper winner and very respectable fifth in a Listed event at Cheltenham (good) in January; only fifth when made favourite for her hurdling debut at Bangor (2m3f, good) but she can improve on that.

J: Tristan Durrell

Well handicapped on some of last year's placed form for Ben Pauling but has not been firing on all cylinders for a while and is now 0-16 over hurdles; seems best on good ground but handles good to soft.

0-18 since making winning debut in a Warwick bumper (September 2021); back from a 174-day absence when fifth of seven in a Class 5 handicap at Plumpton (3m1f, good; beaten 15l) latest; others are more likely candidates.

Form & Verdict
Had the most racing of these and is penalised for winning a weak maiden at Sedgefield earlier this year, since when she has come up short over hurdles and fences; will do well to win this.

Belied her 20-1 odds in very ordinary Sedgefield maiden in May (2m4f, good) but is yet to build on that success; seemed to run well when second of three in recent Sedgefield novice but some of her rivals here have more compelling form.

T: Jack Jones

2-13 over fences when trained by Henry Daly, the latter win gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 3m but, having recently changed hands for £22,000, still has strong claims on this stable debut.

Posted best effort of her 2025-26 campaign when neck second, clear of the remainder, at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time; appears capable of going one better, having recorded sole chase success (November 2024) off current mark.
