11st 10lb |
Both of her wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) were at this track and they have been her only two visits, the latter two years ago; fair fourth with first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m) in December but back in the doldrums since; visor takes over and she returns to Huntingdon, so there are potential positives. |

Responded well to cheekpieces when fourth at Doncaster in December (3m) but soon back in the doldrums; much depends on what effect the visor might have. |

11st 12lb |
Showed little in early ventures in bumpers and pulled up on hurdle debut but she came clear in quite pleasing style when winning a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell in August and had a stiff task under a penalty next time; should have a future at this level now handicapping. |

11st 11lb |
Just a respectable fourth over fences at Taunton (2m5f, soft) seven weeks ago and now 0-9 under rules but reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and good ground also suits; tongue-tie added; a possible. |

Good start to chasing career when third behind two next-time-out winners at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; was on the retreat when falling back at 2m2f here in early February (good ground no excuse) but hard to rule out. |

Showed little for Gordon Elliott in Ireland and well held when 40-1 for both handicaps, over 2m and 2m7f; taken out of soft- and heavy-ground races in both countries so has a going query; wears first-time cheekpieces on debut for new yard. |

Below her best on last three appearances, though a reluctance to settle (often the case) was never going to help when upped to nearly 3m the last time; she did win at Fakenham in November (7lb lower) on her last race at about this trip and heavy ground is fine. |

Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights. |

Won a mares' handicap at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April by just over 7l off 7lb lower; bit disappointing since until second of 14 at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month after a summer break, so she's back in calculations. |

Not beaten far at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft) but early mistakes cost her when pulled up on final start for Fergal O'Brien; probably best watched on this occasion in first-time headgear. |

Verdict
Our Nel will go very close if she settles better. She may be the main threat to SAWPIT SIENNA (nap), who is following the same route as she did a year ago when taking this race. Luna Dora is the pick of the rest.[Jonathan Neesom]
