Form & Verdict
Won twice on good ground in the spring (2m7f/3m1f) and both runs on heavy and soft ground at Cartmel this summer (2m6f/3m1f) were perfectly respectable; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but the added cheekpieces might squeeze out something extra.

Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) in September and also has a C&D success on his CV but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (with and without headgear).

Was entitled to run better than he did back on good ground at Haydock three weeks ago (3m) but that was a strong race; last season's peaks (at 3m2f/3m) bring him right into it off this mark.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Has very mixed record this year but has won two hurdle races, coming from a long way off the pace on both occasions; reeled in Dinoland quite stylishly at Perth (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago but it's hard to tell whether everything will pan out favourably here.

Given an excellent ride by Patrick Wadge to win at Ayr (3m, soft) three weeks ago in a peculiar race (big early gaps); this 10yo is on a career-high mark now back against males but a strongly run race in a big field should be right up her street and she's also effective on good going; respected.

Led close home to end losing run at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in July and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground there is not viewed harshly; not yet fully exposed over staying trips and current mark ought to be workable; might be the answer.
