Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner when trained by Bob Buckler; had poor completion record over fences for that stable and was left behind by Credo when second on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) but remains on a good mark and may yet come good for Venetia Williams.

Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to soft) on last month's seasonal/chase debut and cruised clear of Flowing Cadenza to win easily off the same mark at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) a few days later; 13lb higher this time but needs to be taken very seriously in current mood.

Runner-up in this race last year and came good over fences with two wins at end of last season, the latter a notable success at the Punchestown festival (2m5f, good to yielding); didn't fire on last month's reappearance outing and Rex Dingle evidently prefers stablemate Credo today, but she still enters calculations.

Returned to form with small-field win in first-time visor at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and will be fine over today's longer trip but was struggling to keep up with Juniper before falling quite heavily at three out at Taunton (2m5f, soft) on latest outing.

Made it 2-2 at Carlisle (2m5f; both on soft) when winning the same race for the second time this month (first-time visor replaced blinkers, as today); acts on sharp right-handed tracks as well and, despite going back up 4lb, her first Carlisle win came off this mark; looks good for a big run.

Form & Verdict
Didn't make any significant further progress after winning Catterick novice hurdle (1m7f, soft) last December and has been safely held in two chases this season, latterly when behind Credo and Flowing Cadenza at Chepstow three weeks ago; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces here.

Form & Verdict
Bettered low-key chasing debut when clear second here (2m5f, good) in October and last month's run behind White Hart Lady at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) was a fair bit better than her eventual 50l defeat might suggest; still unexposed under rules but others appeal more all the same.
