Form & Verdict

Impressive when winning by 22l over C&D (good) in December despite her jockey riding without irons over the last three fences (second won next time); far from disgraced when fourth of five in a Listed mares' chase at Exeter (3m, good) last month and much respected back in a handicap; has won twice on heavy.

Form & Verdict

Bumper/dual hurdle winner who was having her fourth start over fences and first since wind surgery when third of four at Taunton (2m6f, good) this month; softer ground suits her better so conditions should be ideal, but she does need to improve again with blinkers now given a go.

Form & Verdict

Made a winning chase debut at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in November, but finished around 30l behind Rose Of Arcadia when third of five over this C&D (good) next time and jumped poorly when second of four at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month; hard to see her bridging the gap with her old rival.

Form & Verdict

Has taken well to fences with wins at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in December and Kempton (3m, good) last month; only 3lb higher in her hat-trick bid and may still have more to offer, but ground worse than good to soft would pose a question.
