Form & Verdict
First foal; bought for £5,000 last year; plenty of stamina in the pedigree but dam won a bumper, which is a plus; top trainer has fair record in these races; could easily be good enough on debut.

Beat her four rivals comfortably at Kelso (good) in September but came up well short when showing similar form at Newcastle (AW); graduates from bumpers with improvement needed but her dam was a fairly useful jumper.

Beat only four rivals when winning on debut at Kelso (2m, good) in September, and she carries a 7lb penalty today; however, she had 6l to spare and is a leading candidate.

Placed in a bumper in September and on two of her first three hurdling starts (2m/2m4f); her form isn't anything to go wild about but she seems versatile regarding ground and is open to improvement in handicaps.

Five starts and yet to really threaten, but she's finished second in a Kelso bumper (2m, good) and a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, heavy), and the wind op and the step up in trip could prompt a bigger run today.

Beaten 15l behind a stable companion when fifth at Musselburgh in March; likely to need to step up on that.

Yet another placing here in a 2m4f maiden last month; 0-3 in handicaps but was going well when falling in one of them and there's a race in her off this mark; unraced beyond 2m4f but could stay.

0-10 over hurdles; ran quite well in Newcastle maiden (2m4f, good) in March, after a break, but weakened tamely from penultimate flight in 2m4f handicap here (good to soft) in April; back in trip today; others preferred.

Irish challenger; two runs earlier this season and pick of them when fifth at Roscommon in June; probably sets the standard on that and trainer among the winners lately.

Has improved for the switch to handicaps; promise at Cork off 85 when sixth of 16 and posted another sound effort off the same mark when third of 16 at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) last time out; drops in trip and cheekpieces an interesting addition; leading claims.
