Form & Verdict
Won small-field Chepstow hunter chase (2m7f, good to soft) when back under rules in April and, after a low-key stable debut over hurdles, cruised to victory in handicap chase here (2m5f, good to soft) on Monday; seems versatile regarding ground and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be difficult to beat under 7lb penalty.

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.

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Placed on four of her six starts over hurdles last season and easily beat her only rival on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May; gets another chance off the same mark here and remains unexposed over fences; effective on good to soft but unraced on anything slower; respected.

T: Martin Keighley

Bounced back to form with clearcut win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April and was placed off today's mark there the following month but her subsequent hurdle run was underwhelming and she needs to be perked up by a change of headgear.

Won in good style over fences at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April, after a break, but was not quite in the same form over that C&D last month and would prefer the rain to stay away before this hurdling return.

Suffered significant dip in form last season but returned from ten-week break with 5l win over C&D (good to soft) last month and remains well handicapped after a 3lb rise; will have something to prove if the ground turns soft but, otherwise, has strong claims.

Form & Verdict
2-5 over fences, the latter win gained over C&D (good) last month; will have something to prove if the ground ends up slower than good to soft but her recent 3lb rise ought to be manageable.

Two chasing wins, the latest at Newton Abbot in June; satisfactory efforts after until ground too soft when tailed off at Uttoxeter last month; conditions more in her favour now but she's more exposed than some.

Form & Verdict
Had rather mixed record over hurdles but won by 16l here (3m2f, good) in the autumn and returned from layoff with very respectable run over similar trip at Stratford last month; has possibilities if she takes well to chasing but may be reliant on good ground.

Neither 3m2f trip nor familiar assertive tactics to blame when dropping out quickly on last month's chasing debut at Newton Abbot (beaten 28l); needs to jump better, but too early to write off; down a useful 6lb.

Form & Verdict
Left Charles Byrnes after failing to justify heavy market support in Tramore maiden hurdle last month and made very underwhelming stable debut when beaten about 35l in maiden hurdle here (2m5f, good) 16 days ago; may yet have a bigger run in her and last year's point win bodes well for her prospects over fences, but she's the one with most to prove in this field.

Point winner who is one to watch in the betting off a lowly mark on her chase debut; however, she's been struggling over hurdles this year and needs to raise her game in a big way.
