Won five handicap hurdles two seasons ago; hasn't won since and was mainly out of form last term; on a fair mark and cheekpieces now tried, but perhaps best watched for now. |

She's been placed a few times and won't be far away if at the top of her game, but that hasn't been the case the last twice and she's now 0-13. |

12-race maiden; second in a 2m4f mares' handicap hurdle off 8lb lower here in February 2023 (good to soft); two fair runs in November/December but disappointing favourite last time; needs to bounce back. |

Yet to break her duck but several decent efforts in defeat, including last twice in similarly competitive heats here and at Navan; not totally proven over the trip but still likely to be thereabouts. |

Maiden who was running well this time last year, including over C&D, but mixed these days and disappointed here in January after a better effort at Kelso previously; has had wind surgery since, which offers hope. |

Returned from long absence with two heavy defeats for new stable this summer but last month's fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was more encouraging; she needs to build on that performance here but has the services of Brian Hughes again. |

She's a 16-race maiden but she ran well when second here (2m4f, good to soft) last month off a career-low mark (behind comfortable winner Lihyan who is due to run in the 1:55); back up 1lb today; might not be far away. |

Still to win a race but she showed improved form when upped to 3m at Ayr in February (good to soft; cheekpieces first time, retained); up 3lb but still has time to do better. |

27th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Runner-up in a bumper and on hurdling debut last year but soundly beaten in first three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) and not really bred to benefit from today's step up in trip; cheekpieces (worn three starts ago) are given another whirl. |

Showed promise when runner-up in a bumper and on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); things have gone rather pear-shaped since but heavy ground is a possible excuse for latest two defeats; had wind surgery since; not dismissed. |

Has become very unreliable but seemed to run well when third of four in tactical race at Kelso three weeks ago, and this dual C&D winner can't be ruled out off a career-low chase mark. |

Doesn't look entirely solid on recent form but shaped better than the bare result at Hexham five days ago; gained both handicap wins off higher marks and receives plenty of weight all round in this field; possibilities if anywhere near best. |

Returned to form with a 20-1 win at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but she was back in the doldrums with a tailed-off effort there (3m) last time; still looks on a workable mark but she needs to bounce back again after a short break. |

Came right back to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when winning a 2m5f handicap here last month (soft); stays well (has won over 3m on heavy at Carlisle) and, although up 7lb, is not without a chance. |

Maiden who was a respectable fourth over 2m5f at Kelso in November (soft) but she unseated, then pulled up, on next two starts; looks unlikely from 6lb out of the weights. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 5 |

Ran okay when fourth of 12 here in November (2m5f, soft; beaten about 12l) on last completed start; however, she's 0-19 and it remains to be seen whether this drop back in trip will suit; others are more compelling. |
