J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

No match for Progressive when second at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February but drew nicely clear of the others with a next-time-out winner when scoring at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month and a recent 4lb rise does not look excessive; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
Point runner-up; won by a head at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in October on chase debut; good second since on good to soft in further handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f; jinked left on run-in) and Leicester (2m6f) but she's a penalised winner in this novice chase, which leaves her with a tough task against two of the others on hurdles form; 7lb claimer is recruited.

One win and four seconds from her six runs over fences; it was an uncompetitive race in which she was runner-up last time (2m2f, good to soft) but highly likely to be in the thick of it once more.

Scored over C&D (good) in October 2023 and returned from 226-day absence with creditable third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer; major player if in similar form after an even longer layoff here; handles good to soft ground; unproven on anything slower.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Richard Hobson

Won by a head on chase/handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October and was second three consecutive times the following month (2m4f-2m6f); has fitness to prove after 226-day absence but still features prominently in calculations; had wind op in May.

7 yo Mare

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner two winters back and had a year off before running a fine race when third in handicap at Perth (2m4f) in April; a leading contender on that evidence but pulled up on chase debut here (2m7f) last month, making a couple of mistakes and struggling before six out; that needs to have blown away the cobwebs.

Front-runner who went close twice in a row at Kempton (3m, good) towards the end of last year following an absence; tailed off at Chepstow since on soft ground she should have handled; needs to bounce back, but not ruled out with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

20lb higher than for her last win (gained on soft) after going up a collective 8lb for near misses over 3m on good at Kempton; however, has returned from a lengthy break in top form and another bold show looks on the cards.
