Unseated/fell on her two outings at the end of last year and pulled up at Cheltenham recently; however, she was kicked before the start last time and was running pretty well when falling two out at Wetherby in December; won last season's Cheltenham Festival hunter chase and is 2-2 here; capable.

Got up close home to win the hunter chase at last season's Festival (3m2f, soft) and has also run well on good ground here; she's unseated/fallen on both starts this season but she was keeping on when departing two out at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in December and today's stiffer test of stamina will be right up her street; could be a player granted a clear round.

Won Irish maiden point in April (yielding ground) and returned to racing under rules with good third at Tipperary (3m, good to yielding; form well advertised by winner since) last month; upped in trip for today's stable debut; interesting to see how he fares.

T: J Heard

An 18-1 winner of a 3m1f hunter chase on this card 12 months ago; returned here in March on the back of good runs but reportedly found the ground too testing when pulled up, as was Premier Magic; a greater concern would be his subsequent defeat on good at Flete Park; certainly a player if bringing his 'A' game.

0-6 in points but attracted market support and seemed to display significant improvement when second to Kaproyale (runs in 5.35 race) on recent rules debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); another big step forward is needed here, though.
