Jumped well and never headed at Perth (2m4f, good) in July and returned to that level when reeled in late on at Huntingdon (2m4f); not sure the winner of that race was particularly well handicapped and there are stamina doubts over this far.

T: Stuart Coltherd

Returned from long absence with quite encouraging hurdle run in May and ran well for a long way over C&D (good; race in which Salamanca Bay fell) last month; finished rather weakly on both occasions but might last longer if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today.

Longstanding maiden but has form figures of 222 at Perth (fences/hurdles); runner-up eight times in total; could go well with Kelso reappearance under his belt.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on the best of her hurdle form; ran a pleasing first race on her belated debut over fences to be second at Wexford (2m4f, good to yielding) on latest start, when the winner was in form and had chasing experience; considered.

The last of her five hurdle wins came in 2019 but has been regressive in the last 18 months; however, has run solid races on both chase starts lately over 2m4f and a repeat of those efforts will put her firmly in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Won a Wexford handicap hurdle over this trip in May; dropped her guard last time at Downpatrick but usually consistent and could easily be as good now switching to fences.

One of the better hurdlers in this field and returns to chasing on the back of a handicap win at Down Royal (2m6f) last week; last of four on chase debut at Perth prior to that but better expected this time.

Dual hurdle winner; in with a shout when taking a heavy fall on her chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in May and completing back over hurdles last time (beaten about 7l) should have done her good; considered.
