Form & Verdict
Scored at Taunton (2m2f, good; 6lb lower mark) last November on her third chase start; backed that up from this mark next time at Leicester (2m, good to firm), when runner-up in a four-runner contest; took a crashing fall early on at Warwick latest but very much a contender if over that.

Both wins (one here) have been recorded at 2m2f-2m3f, but today's sort of trip may now be closer to optimum judged on this summer's evidence; back below her last winning mark and not ruled out; visor added.

7 yo Mare

OR: 91

Form & Verdict
Placed in both points; lacked pace despite some promising efforts over shorter trips, so her latest effort when stepped up to 3m1f at Catterick was a shade disappointing (heavy ground a possible excuse; acts on soft); drops 2lb and back in trip for chase debut and could be competitive.

Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time.

Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind.

7 yo Mare

Form & Verdict
Scored decisively against her own sex at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) last April on her fourth chase start; now back on the same mark after three lesser efforts since; may have needed her recent reappearance over hurdles, over what was an inadequate trip; interesting.
