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.

Moved well throughout when winning on good ground at Huntingdon (2m4f) and she was clear of the remainder when chasing home a big improver (twice successful since) at Hereford (2m3f); up another 2lb but plenty to like.

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.

Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class.

Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race.

6 yo Mare

OR: 113

Form & Verdict
Had wind surgery and now wears a tongue-tie after stopping quickly and reportedly making a noise on her handicap debut at Doncaster; narrowly accounted for a subsequent winner the time before when defying a penalty at Kelso (2m5f, soft) and she remains far from unexposed; second in a point on good to yielding.

A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser but she has been pulled up all three starts over fences this season, latest at Huntingdon (3m) in January; has lots to prove back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Beaten about 16l by Spring Note when they clashed in a bumper; around 5l off the winner in her two hurdles after racing keenly both times; while this initial mark looks no more than okay, she should progress further.

Maiden hurdler, though only had four runs; beaten 15l and 10l in two handicap chases (2m4f/2m3f) and shapes as though this drop back in trip could work in her favour; respected.

0-4 over hurdles, with a tendency to race too freely, but ran big race in defeat in Warwick handicap (2m5f, good) in May; kept on steadily from the rear for respectable fourth on recent chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft), after a break, and ought to build on that performance here.
