Form & Verdict
Took very well to chasing last season, winning twice (2m7f/3m2f), but has found things tough in competitive marathon handicaps this season and also disappointed when eased in grade for latest appearance; very well handicapped now but needs to turn a corner.

Lightly raced 9yo who made it 3-9 over fences when making all off reduced mark at Wincanton (3m1f, good) in April; 3lb higher in this much deeper race on her return but that was a comfortable success last time and she has won when fresh in the past.

Confined to soft or heavy ground for all ten runs under rules; the winner of two mares' handicaps over fences, the latest at Bangor (3m) last March off this very mark; although below par this season, her runs have been in decidedly strong 3m4f-3m6f handicaps; better expected, provided she goes on the ground.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who made virtually all to beat three rivals on chasing debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) in February; took backward step when last of four at Taunton (2m5f, good) last month but was pestered for the lead throughout there and might be allowed her own way here.

Four wins divided between fences and hurdles; did lose her way in this discipline earlier this year but got back on track with a second over hurdles in June; handicapped to have a say.

Won twice on good ground over fences at Huntingdon last year, latterly over 3m1f in November; had wind surgery in January and not so good in her three runs since, particularly on last two, which sees her back over hurdles today for first time since November 2022.

Jumped well and made all to win very similar race to this over C&D (good) in November; now back down the same mark but has not been in the same form again since, and was particularly disappointing when pulled up at Cheltenham last month; returns here with a point to prove but won't mind what the weather does.

Form & Verdict
Four-time hurdle winner; well beaten in her first two chases but returned to form at Bangor (3m, good to soft) last month, where she appeared to have the upper hand when left well clear at the final fence; not be one to rely upon heavily but a recent 3lb rise ought to be manageable.

Had interesting times over fences, a wide-margin winner on one occasion from five attempts but pulled up three times and finished remote on the other; dropped right out on return to hurdles in November but she did run well in this race in 2020 before winning it the following year and is lower in the weights than for either of those runs; cannot ignore.

A case of all or nothing over fences earlier in the year, a 41l success at Bangor (3m, good to soft) in March surrounded by four modest efforts; has dropped 4lb lower than when last winning over hurdles, though, and won't have a problem with the trip or likely testing ground; shortlisted.
