Form & Verdict
Placed in final two novice hurdles in the spring (2m, soft) and another promising run when third on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft); stayed on well last time and the stamina in her pedigree also suggests she'll be suited by this step up in trip.

Dual hurdle winner last season (2m7f/3m) and returned from ten-month break with two good efforts in February, latterly when second to Felicie Du Maquis at Ludlow (3m, soft); will probably be in the shake-up again.

Very solid campaign last season, winning twice (2m7f/3m, good to soft/soft), and she was a fair fourth in a tough handicap at Sandown (2m7f, heavy) on this month's belated reappearance; drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role.

Form & Verdict
Won for Fergal O'Brien at Hereford (2m3f, soft) last November and she's just 1lb higher today; didn't run badly at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) last month on first outing for the Killahena/McPherson yard but needs to get back to her very best here and she's unproven at the trip.

Went close at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December and also ran well when fourth over C&D (soft) in February; current mark is workable but she was very disappointing on good ground last month and would appeal much more on a slower surface.

Not disgraced in two of her last three starts as when fourth of eight at Chepstow (3m, soft) four weeks ago, but this trip on drying ground may be an insufficient test for her now and she looks vulnerable to younger rivals.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice in a row in the summer before winning at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in August when last seen; a 4lb rise isn't harsh and she's a contender if at the top of her game back from a break.
