Form & Verdict
Triple winner on a sound surface and ran poorly on her only previous run on ground easier than good; not hard to have reservations, especially after her latest effort.

On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today.

Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D.

Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track.

Form & Verdict
Has done a lot of her racing on the AW (including both wins) but she might well have won over 1m4f here two weeks ago (good to soft; handles soft) had she not momentarily jinked and unseated her rider close home; off the same mark here with a visor turned to; danger to all.

Has done most of her racing on the AW (including both wins) while her latest second at Kempton (1m4f) has since been franked by the third; showed she could handle turf when third of eight here (1m2f, soft) in July and the form of that race has worked out well; still unexposed on grass and a big player.

Form & Verdict
Placed a heap of times but 0-10 now and capitulated late on after holding a clear lead in a 1m4f Kempton novice 12 days ago; has come up short in three handicaps off slightly lower marks; however, she's fine on soft and is unlikely to be far away.

Absent since an autumn C&D effort that was respectable but took her AW record to 0-9; has gained none of her turf wins when fresh; doesn't look the percentage call.

Enhanced her good record at Beverley with a never-say-die win there ten days ago (1m2f, heavy); 2lb rise is nothing to moan about and she'll be happier on this surface than some; unraced here.

T: John Wainwright

Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.

T: John Wainwright

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll.

Form & Verdict
Left reappearance run behind when a keeping-on third of ten at Sandown last month (1m1f, good); however, doesn't look ahead of her mark and, although effective on good to soft, she's come out of soft-ground engagements in the past.

Two Flat wins in Britain; had struggled in handicap hurdles until much more encouraging third at Downpatrick last week under positive ride in first-time cheekpieces (despite mistake last); headgear surprisingly left off here but major player.
