Four juvenile wins in 2020 and gained her first success since when justifying support at Warwick three weeks ago, on return from five months off; 4lb rise of no concern if she can another step back in the right direction.

Seven-time hurdle winner (once over C&D); runner-up on the AW in January and returned to this discipline with very respectable fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; likely contender.

Both wins have been gained over C&D, the second on last month's stable debut, after a break; looked like he didn't stay 2m4f at Southwell next time and can be seriously considered.

2-4 over hurdles, the latter win gained on last month's stable debut at Worcester (2m, good); that was his first run since last summer and he moves back up in trip today, so there are reasons to believe he can progress again; leading contender.

All three hurdling runs last summer (for Ryan Potter) were at this track; won on debut and ran very well when second next time (both C&D) but well held in a handicap at 2m4f when last seen in August; tongue-strap missing on this first start for Laura Morgan; interesting and more so if backed.

Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred.
