Form & Verdict

Failed to progress from last season's novice hurdle win and is 0-5 over fences this term but comes here after finishing second twice in blinkers last month (2m5f/2m4f, good) and can make her presence felt if today's switch to a visor has any sort of positive effect.

Form & Verdict

Won from the front at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft) six weeks ago and is now 2-5 for her new stable this season; should be fine over today's longer trip; likely contender.

Form & Verdict

0-7 under rules but bettered her low-key chasing debut when clear second of 14 at Ffos Las (3m, good) a fortnight ago and a 2lb nudge up the weights may not be enough to stop her if she's in similar form here.

Form & Verdict

Lost touch from just after halfway on last month's chasing debut at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and also struggled when switched back to hurdling in refitted cheekpieces here a week ago; very difficult to enthuse over at present.

Form & Verdict

Dual course winner last season (2m7f/2m5f) but looked reluctant to jump off on final appearance last term and effectively pulled herself up in early stages of reappearance outing in December; comes with very obvious risk attached.
