Form & Verdict
Well held in both chasing attempts a year ago but landed two points in the spring; easy winner over hurdles on her return and may well have found the ground too firm next time; unbeaten in three starts under Freddie Gingell and on a fair mark if she can show her best over fences.

Has run well on good ground here and won at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; reappeared with solid third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month and she should be fine with today's test (albeit well beaten 12 months ago); 2lb out of the handicap but not discounted for bang-in-form yard.

Thorough stayer who gained last season's chasing win at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; not quite in same form at Plumpton later that month but has good record when fresh and begins her new campaign on a workable mark; had wind operation in August; good chance.

Only win under rules came over 3m at Fakenham (good to soft) where she also didn't run too badly in a stronger race a month ago (2m5f, good); jumping can be an issue but she has a competitive show in her at this level.

Maiden over hurdles but game winner on last month's chasing debut at Hereford (3m1f); 8lb rise for a narrow success had looked harsh but the runner-up has since romped home so she can be highly competitive again.

Did well to finish second at Hereford (3m1f, good) in November, after some sketchy early jumping, but was struggling before coming to grief on next outing and suffered heavy defeat when back over hurdles last time; comes here with questions to answer and would appeal more on better ground.

Form & Verdict
First start for a year when fourth over hurdles in October; showed enough in two chases in the autumn of 2021 to suggest she can be a factor, especially as she has proved largely consistent and stays well.

Form & Verdict
Won debut over fences when beating two rivals at Warwick last month (2m4f); stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but she's a likely strong contender off 4lb higher if she stays; best on soft ground.

Won three-runner chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in November 2022; right out of form in her three starts since, the latest (way out of her depth) for new yard in December having left Anthony Honeyball; questions to answer.

Four career starts and well held in all three hurdling efforts last winter; plenty to prove on chasing debut after 11 months off but pedigree suggests she'll benefit from a stamina test, so not without some hope.

Fitted with a tongue-tie on last two starts when staying-on fourth of 15 here (3m, soft) and winning at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) 16 days later; fortunate in the latter, as the clear leader fell two out, but she's back up only 1lb and brings far more positives than most of these.

Fitted with a tongue-tie, first sign of promise over fences when staying on from the rear for fourth at Chepstow (3m, soft) 16 days ago, with the reopposing Galop Du Bosc just under 2l ahead in second; this longer trip should suit on that evidence; considered.
