OR:

Form & Verdict
Buckled down well to win on second bumper start, at Market Rasen last June; was aiming high on hurdle debut at Newbury recently (2m, soft) when one of the rank outsiders but she kept on stoutly to take a late, if remote, fourth; looks sure to improve for the step up in trip.

Has shown fairly useful form in handicaps at Market Rasen (won by 15l) and Wincanton (ran well under big weight) since wearing blinkers; may have more to offer in the retained blinds.

Four-time winner over hurdles who made it 2-4 over fences with a 15l success in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (3m, good) eight days ago; Beau Morgan's claim partly offsets the 7lb penalty and she is a major player once again.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Ran green but was an emphatic winner of her sole bumper run at Warwick in November (good to soft); lacked the know-how of a four-time Flat winner when switched to hurdles at Southwell in December (2m, good) but it was still a good effort; can improve over this longer trip; big player.

Easily won this last year and made it 3-3 here (good-heavy) when scoring over C&D in March; soundly beaten on final start last season and pulled up here on her return, but she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect based on her excellent record here previously.

6 yo Mare

OR:

Form & Verdict
Promising mare who stepped up on bumper debut when coming off the bridle only late on before winning minor Leicester event on hurdle debut in December (2m4f, good to soft); showed signs of inexperience there and looks open to plenty of improvement.

J: Fergus Gillard

T: Dan Skelton

Opened chasing account at third attempt, making all in three-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) last month; the value of that form is open to question (odds-on favourite disappointed) but she's still on a workable mark if judged on hurdling form and still has low mileage.

Useful pedigree for jumping and seems likely to improve on the minor ability shown in bumpers now she goes hurdling; may still need this first attempt, though.
