7/2 (Won)

Last run: 222 days

W: 11st 8lb

5 yo Mare

OR: 101

Form & Verdict
She can run in snatches and her jumping can lack fluency, but she won a bumper (2m, good) and a maiden hurdle (2m5f, heavy) last season and this lightly raced 5yo brings potential to this handicap and seasonal debut.

Hasn't won for a couple of years and that was over fences, but she shaped encouragingly reverting to hurdles when third at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in February, albeit beaten nearly 19l, and has fallen back over fences since; however, she's on a handy mark and is hard to dismiss.

J: Conor O’Farrell

She's struggled to get competitive since finishing a close second in this last year (good to soft) but is 7lb lower this time around and didn't run badly over hurdles at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) last month; not written off.

6 yo Mare

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
Placed three times at Wetherby (3m, good to soft-soft) earlier in the year but she is an 18-race maiden; absent since a lesser run at Hexham in April and she's 7lb out of the handicap.

Stays well and is on a dangerous mark but she ended last season with a heavy defeat at Southwell in April and that took her record to 0-25; others are more convincing.

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who made a successful start in this sphere in novice at Worcester (2m4f, good) in August; bettered that when 5l second to a useful type at Kelso (2m5f, good) in September and there should be more to come now handicapping over further; leading claims for a stable with a healthy strike-rate at this venue.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.

Last win came off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen in June last year (2m4f, good); not at her best last time but has a chance on her previous run when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft).

Scored at Market Rasen (on good ground) last June and she returned from a seven-month absence with a very good third of nine over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D winner can go very well off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Left her previous form behind when a winner at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) in March; returned from six months off to finish a respectable sixth there 13 days ago but she's 8lb wrong at the weights here.

Form & Verdict
Snapped a near three-year losing run in 2m7f Chepstow handicap (good to soft) 15 days ago; up 5lb but she's not long with this yard and remains with handicapping scope on old form; likely to go well again.

Four hurdle wins, all on slow ground; only fourth at Taunton (good) and the handicapper may have caught up, but these easier conditions can only help.

Four hurdle wins, all on slow ground and two coming from her last three starts; races prominently; plenty to like about her decisive Lingfield win last week (2m7f, good to soft); carries 7lb penalty and has claims again provided this ground is not too quick.

Broke a long losing spell at Chepstow (3m, good to soft) in November when making most of the running; doubt that the heavy ground was ideal next time and she remains on a fair mark.
