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.

All three wins on heavy ground here, including narrowly over fences in March (2m3f); however, some way below that form when no match for Dicey Rielly here last month and this looks every bit as competitive.

Form & Verdict
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.

Narrowly beaten on chase debut at Ffos Las and, though she was beaten 10l at Southwell next time (in blinkers, retained), the pair in front of her were in top form; leading hopes assuming she copes with good ground.

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.
