Form & Verdict
Well suited by Ffos Las, having gained both hurdles wins at this course (heavy); however, hasn't been quite so effective in two attempts over rules fences (both here) and still needs to prove she's a chaser.

Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner.

Point/hurdles winner whose last two efforts (over 3m) suggest this drop back in distance will prove ideal on chase debut; on a workable mark and should take well to this sphere; acts on soft ground; respected.

Jumping lacked fluency last spring on first three chase starts and pulled up when last seen; however, she showed promise on her first two runs over fences and could have a part to play if back on song after a break.

Didn't have much form in bumpers or over hurdles but she showed more when third of five on chasing debut over C&D (heavy) 18 days ago, splitting Pageant Material and Galante De Romay after making a bad mistake three out; if she builds on that she'll be a danger to all.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed mare who has raced only five times; soundly beaten on latest hurdles start (2m7f) but ran well here (2m, soft) the time before and looks a possible improver back at this venue on chase debut; cheekpieces now applied; bred to develop beyond current mark, being a half-sister to two winners for her yard; interesting.

Unexposed mare who made notable jumping errors on chasing debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) in March but still ran a big race and wasn't beaten far; encounters different trip-and-ground combination here and comes with some risk but could be dangerous if she finds some fluency.

Bred to come into her own over fences (half-sister to the same stable's high-class chaser Espoir De Romay) and might have made a winning chasing debut over C&D last month but for several jumping errors; still finished only 4l behind Pageant Material and 4lb better off; interesting contender.

Off the mark under rules in a 3m3f chase at Stratford in April (good to soft); returned from a three-month absence to win a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in October and followed up over fences at Ffos Las two weeks later; not at her best over hurdles in hat-trick bid last month but no real surprise were she to bounce back.
