Form & Verdict
Fair Flat-racer who built upon her very encouraging hurdling debut when when drawing clear to win by 11l at Cartmel (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; obvious contender here; placed on good to soft ground, unraced on anything slower.

Won four novice hurdles in a row in May-July 2023 but unable to reproduce that form on her two starts earlier this year, and she's returning from some more time off today; others have less to prove.

Form & Verdict
Won a bumper last year and has improved with experience over hurdles; came good with 9l success from the front at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) four weeks ago and features prominently in calculations here; raced mainly on good ground but made the frame in a bumper on good to soft.

Easily won 2m2f mares' maiden hurdle at Market Rasen a year ago but well behind the winner in both starts since and looked to have her stamina stretched when upped to this trip at Fontwell on latest start in May.

Easily landed a mares' maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) a year ago but has finished well behind the winner in both starts since, including on her Southwell reappearance (2m4f, good) last month; probably needs to resume her progress up in trip on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Showed only minor promise on hurdle debut in Ireland in 2021 but has won three British points since, and collected small-field hunter chase when back under rules at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in April; subsequently changed hands for £5,000; not sure to be suited by today's drop in trip but significant rain will make her very much of interest.

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences.

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams.
