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.

0-6 over fences last season and not seen since falling at Cheltenham in April; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in the field have a fair bit less to prove; blinkers (worn for last two races) removed.

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.

Began chasing career with two wins last winter, the latter gained here (3m, good); ended last season with two poor performances on slow ground and has fitness to prove after 200-day break, but can cope with today's drop back in trip and ought to appreciate the return to a sound surface.

Dual hurdle winner who made a good start over fences when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in December and at Kempton (3m, good) in February; pulled up in her hat-trick bid at Fontwell but she had an excuse on heavy ground and it wouldn't be a surprise if she bounced back with a bold bid.
