Form & Verdict
Both hurdle wins in 2021 but latest was off 13lb higher; didn't live up to market expectations back under rules at Worcester last month but she may done too much too soon and this 8yo has had a near-miss at 2m7f in the past; not ruled on this step back up in trip.

Back in prime form this season, winning three in a row under Tom Broughton at Southwell (3m, good); latest 5lb rise ought to be manageable and she makes very obvious appeal.

11-race maiden but he's been placed at Perth (3m, good to soft) and Hexham (2m7f, good) in the last two of his three runs after a long absence; has more to do from 4lb out of the weights this time but it's hard to rule out another good run.

Won back-to-back here (3m) in August 2023; 0-10 since and well beaten over 2m when last in action in January; is very lowly weighted if factoring in the 10lb claim of regular rider Roisin Leech.

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-12 but his win came at Ayr (2m4f, good) in March and he stayed on strongly when a fair third here (good; 5-2 favourite) last time; still has potential as a handicapper and interesting on this step back up in trip.

Back in good form in refitted cheepieces this spring, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) before very respectable third at Hexham (2m7f, good); not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip or the switch back to blinkers but still considered.
