Went close on last month's handicap debut at Newton Abbot and displayed further improvement when clearcut winner of conditional jockeys' race over C&D (good) last Wednesday; escapes a penalty for that and has obvious chance to complete a quick double.

Three wins over hurdles; won a 2m handicap chase quite well here last August but beaten 17l on either side of her fall at Ludlow (2m4f), where she was in contention four out; might be better for a break and hard to dismiss.

Form & Verdict
Behind Pop The Champagne when third of seven at Stratford (2m, good to soft) last month but that was her second decent effort since a tongue-tie was added and she continues to slip down the weights; seems versatile regarding ground; enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Made all for easy win in run-of-the-mill Bangor maiden (2m3f, good) last month but was tailed off over same C&D in a handicap four weeks ago and needs to put that run behind her; best rules form is on good ground but she was second in an Irish point on yielding to soft.

Form & Verdict
Won four in a row for Fergal O'Brien last summer and was second for this stable at Stratford (2m, good to soft) last month; subsequent Flat defeat can easily be overlooked (faced tough task); ground slower than good to soft would be new to her but, otherwise, her claims are solid.

Pop The Champagne

9st 7lb

J: Taylor Fisher

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip.

Consistent over hurdles and on the Flat this year; holds no secrets from the handicapper but last month's Wincanton fourth (2m5f, good) was perfectly respectable and she'll be fine over today's shorter trip; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in January 2022 and was placed over fences and hurdles on very soft ground in February; makes British debut after seven-month absence, though, and is entitled to benefit from this outing.
