Form & Verdict
Won Listed handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in first-time blinkers in April and ran at least as well when second over 3m at Haydock the following month; last month's reappearance run was a shade disappointing but she's a big player if she jumps soundly on today's chasing debut.

Ran in the Grand National 11 days ago, badly hampered at the second fence and falling at the third; won two high-profile handicaps last November before Listed win at Newbury and the drop back to 2m4f didn't appear ideal at the Cheltenham Festival; leading claims if none the worse for last time.

10yo who is better than ever this term, including with a big handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) and Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); dropping back to 2m4f, however, was probably not ideal when creditable third in mares' race at Cheltenham last month; 8lb higher than in the Newbury race but her dominance that day is hard to forget.

J: Harry Skelton

10yo who has been better than ever this term, completing a notable handicap double in November in the Paddy Power Gold Cup (2m4f, soft; here) and the Coral Gold Cup (3m2f, good to soft) before easily completing a hat-trick in a Listed mares' chase (2m7f, good to soft); the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but rain would aid her cause and she's entitled to respect.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner who looked as good as ever when winning Class 2 handicap at Wincanton (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago; ought to pose a potent threat on today's chasing debut.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Alan King

Won at Wincanton (2m5f, good to firm) in November 2022 on last hurdle start and was bang there when falling at the final fence at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April when last seen; stays 3m and is effective on good to soft ground; a good record when fresh further heightens interest.

8 yo Mare

OR: 113

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner; showed some fairly useful form in early part of last season but last month's Hereford third (2m3f, good to firm) came off a reduced mark and she'd be getting 12lb from the other three mares if this chasing debut was a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Ended 2021 in good form over hurdles but quickly went off the boil after the turn of the year and has been absent since a 52l defeat in March; has decent chance at the weights if back on song for today's chasing debut but the others all have less to prove.

Three-time hurdle winner; not an instant success over fences last season but seemed to be getting her act together when close/clear second to a course specialist at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in April and has possibilities here if fully tuned up.
