Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive.

Form & Verdict
Aside from her second start, she's produced three similar efforts over 2m, all on slow ground; came closest to winning when beaten just over 4l at Ffos Las (heavy) on penultimate start; will need to improve on that to defy this initial mark but that's not out of the question.

Splendidly tough mare who was notching her third win of a busy campaign when trouncing ten rivals in a novice over C&D (good to soft; made most of the running) three weeks ago; that was her best effort by some way and there seemed to be no fluke about it; probably again the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner; won a Ludlow bumper (good to soft) last season; improving over hurdles; second in a mares' event at Southwell and then third at Hereford (both 2m, soft), where she jumped left on occasions; looks capable of going well from this initial mark, especially now upped in trip.

Form & Verdict
Debut bumper win in France (1m5f, good) remains her only success but, in context, her two better British efforts would give her claims if she sees out this new trip (two half-siblings won a 2m4f point and a 2m5f chase respectively); has to shrug off a disappointing latest effort.
