Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 9yo who has won her last two, the latest over C&D by a head margin; 6lb higher mark might leave her vulnerable but she's still a major player in what's not a strong contest.

Won three on the trot over 2m/2m1f last summer (good/good to soft); may have needed the race after a break and wind surgery when last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last time; better ground should suit as well.

Completed a hat-trick when pipping Karannelle in this race a year ago and looked back in good form when close fourth over C&D (good); slightly disappointing later in June on latest outing but seems quite versatile regarding ground and features prominently in calculations; had wind op in July.

Hold-up performer who is difficult to win with (3-44) but often goes well here and her recent completions were by no means shoddy efforts.

Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Bled from the nose when pulling up on her latest chase start; that's more her game (5-20; 0-11 hurdling) but she's handicapped accordingly and, despite this trip being perhaps on the short side, it wouldn't be a surprise to see her on the scene.

Bled from the nose when pulling up at Worcester in July and she ran as if something was amiss, jumping badly to her right, at Fontwell on latest outing; competitive mark judged on plenty of other form but a note of caution has been sounded.

Being 5lb out of the weights means that she's 2lb higher than when a near 7l third in her final handicap at Wincanton; latest defeat came at 66-1 in a novice; each-way claims but may struggle to win.
