Returned to form to win four-runner Newton Abbot race (2m2f, good) in June and is still on a good mark but two poor performances have followed and it's hard to know what to expect today.

Form & Verdict
Rallied to win at Stratford 11 days ago, her second novice win; well beaten on her only previous handicap attempt but in better form now and 7lb lower; can make the running and likely to give it a good shot.

Has form figures of 411P since joining Dan Skelton, the wins over 2m2f/2m3f; let down by jumping when upped to 3m last time and may show that she stays this trip provided errors are avoided; not written off.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Won at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) in December on second stable start and followed up at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); effective on soft ground on the Flat; stamina is the big question today for this Flat-bred 6yo but she's finished well the last twice and will have strong claims if she stays.

6 yo Mare

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Took her career record to 5-9 when beating four rivals at Cartmel on last month's handicap debut; only up 2lb and likely to be tough to beat again as she looks a good battler; unraced on ground faster than good.

Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play.

Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out.

T: Alastair Ralph

Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten when falling in a military race at Sandown in March, the last time she ran over hurdles, but has done quite well on the Flat since, finishing second at Goodwood last month; reunited with Sean Bowen, aboard for her only hurdle win, so possibilities.

7yo who was well held when falling at the last over hurdles last month but she scored in good style on the Flat (2m, Polytrack) on her penultimate run; 5lb higher here but conditions should be fine on this switch back to turf and she's in the mix.
