Kept on strongly to pip Millarville and cause 33-1 surprise on handicap debut at Kelso (2m2f, heavy) last month; probably needs to improve to overcome 6lb rise but still has potential.

Two hurdle wins, at 2m2f and 2m1f, and has form over 2m6f; below best under conditions that should have suited in March and rather hard to know what to expect now sent over fences with tongue-tie left off.

Point/bumper winner who is 2-4 in novice hurdles this season, the latter win at Catterick (1m7f, soft) five weeks ago; not obviously well treated for today's handicap debut but should still have more to offer.

Two hurdle wins at about 2m1f this year (soft and good ground), lifting her level at Doncaster in March; had some relatively quiet runs since but looked on the way back at Newcastle recently, is on winning mark and Harry Cobden up for the first time; yard won this in 2020.

Fended off a late challenge at Southwell (2m, good) last month and is now 2-2 since switched to handicap hurdles; should be fine on today's slower ground and her latest 4lb rise looks manageable; obvious contender.

Improved for the switch to handicap hurdles, getting off the mark at Leicester in December and following that with a narrow defeat of Ucanaver at Southwell ten days later; unable to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle in January but stepping up in trip should be of benefit to this winning pointer.

Very productive 2022, winning five on good/good to soft; back on a workable mark but struggled to cope with heavy ground at Uttoxeter last month after a break and may also find today's conditions too taxing.
