Form & Verdict
Winning Irish pointer who was pulled up suffering with ataxia on hurdle debut for this yard but has shown glimmers of promise behind useful mares in two subsequent starts at 2m3f and 1m7f; has more going for her now handicapping off a lowly mark.

Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra.

Form & Verdict
Shown promise in bumper/novice hurdles; not obviously ahead of her mark in handicaps and was just plugging on at one pace behind a clear leader (who faded) when making a bad mistake at the last over C&D last March (first-time cheekpieces, discarded); is still a contender in an ordinary race.

Made low-key handicap debut when sixth of seven at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in January but that was her first run since November 2021 and there is good evidence to suggest today's step up to 3m will suit; can get much closer to the target today.

Form & Verdict
Won 1m4f Flat novice as well as 2m Taunton novice hurdle; no obvious step forward for handicaps but she did at least see out 2m4f when runner-up at Leicester in November (good to soft) and shouldn't be too far away despite 2lb rise since.

Turf winner (1m4f) as a 3yo, but has raced exclusively over hurdles (1-9) since returning from a mammoth absence in October 2021); well beaten in one start on Tapeta and not quite sure what to expect in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Good efforts from out of the weights in first two handicaps, dividing next-time winners at Doncaster (2m, soft) before not beaten too far at Haydock (2m3f, good); no impact back from break at Chepstow but has more going for her in the right grade; sometimes hooded but not today.
