Form & Verdict
Third on first two hurdling starts, latterly at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) on New Year's Eve; safely held in first two handicaps (2m3f/3m1f) but had wind surgery during 278-day absence and now sports first-time cheekpieces; may yet deliver on the early promise.

Won over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); didn't look to be going that well before falling at Ffos Las recently but still has low mileage and enters calculations; cheekpieces back on today.

Returned after wind surgery with a hurdle win at Bangor (2m7f, soft; off 5lb lower) in November but he failed to back that up when tailed off at Ffos Las last month; still lightly raced but has something to prove again on this switch to fences; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

0-7 over hurdles but her close fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and her pedigree offers hope that today's step up in trip will suit; well worth a glance in the betting.

Placed on two of her three hurdling starts, more recently when keeping on well to take third in Ffos Las novice (2m, soft) on seasonal debut three weeks ago; goes beyond about 2m4f for first time here; should have improvement to come in handicaps.

Unexposed mare who made notable jumping errors on chasing debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) in March but still ran a big race and wasn't beaten far; encounters different trip-and-ground combination here and comes with some risk but could be dangerous if she finds some fluency.

Bred to come into her own over fences (half-sister to the same stable's high-class chaser Espoir De Romay) and might have made a winning chasing debut over C&D last month but for several jumping errors; still finished only 4l behind Pageant Material and 4lb better off; interesting contender.

Multiple hurdle winner (various ground) when trained by Neil Mulholland; soundly beaten in three chases for new stable this autumn and not yet proven over this far but may be perked up by today's switch back to hurdling and has slipped to a very dangerous handicap mark.
