Form & Verdict
Bumper and dual hurdle winner who made a promising start over fences when third of five in a mares' novice at Worcester (2m4f, good) on her return three weeks ago; that looked a tough task at the weights but she was beaten less than 3l despite losing both front shoes; this is more realistic back in a handicap and she's a big player off unchanged mark.

Two wins in last season's novice chase campaign (2m5f, good/good to soft) and again ran well when 4l second to Found On in handicap here (2m5f, good) in September; has a progressive profile and 3m could suit, but she's 12lb worse off with the reopposing Found On so has plenty of work to do.

Took well to chasing last season, notably when winning easily by 13l against other mares at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good to soft) in January; could still have more to offer over fences but we haven't seen her since a 49l defeat at Cheltenham in April.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 32132 since switched to chasing in June; her latest front-running second at Hereford (3m1f, good to firm) was at 4-9 in a three-runner race but she wasn't beaten far and shaped as though this drop back in trip could suit; respected.

No surprise if sent off hard having made all over more than a mile further in August, and effectiveness on soft was proven during her pointing and bumper days; more exposed than most here as a chaser, however, having been held off a low-120s official mark in handicaps most recently.

OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement to win Lingfield novice hurdle (2m, heavy) in February but didn't build on that performance when only fourth of seven on handicap debut at Exeter (2m, soft) the following month; still very lightly raced and this step up in trip could suit (runner-up in a point) but she has a bit to prove switched to chasing after 229 days off.

On a losing run but she was second in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock (3m1f, soft) and her bid for the Surrey National (3m5f, soft) ended early after a bad mistake; this is her sort of race and she's effective in the mud.

Not as good as she was but ended last year with some good efforts, most recently when second in Tommy Whittle at Haydock (3m1f, soft), and this move back up in trip is sure to suit.

Pulled up in three of her five runs last season but her third at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December was a good effort and she finished fourth of 16 in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter last time; resumes off a dangerous mark and she's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Fortunate winner on her chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) in May and things haven't gone well in five starts since, including over hurdles in the summer; finished fifth of six at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) 17 days ago and others are preferred.
