Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and was runner-up (beaten 12l) in another at Haydock the last time, which was a good run back at 2m3f (heavy); should give her running but others might be better in.

Form & Verdict
Below-par third in similar event at Wetherby (2m, soft) on reappearance; progressive novice hurdler last season, winning three times prior to good second in Grade 1 at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft); leading chance provided she's back on song and stays this new trip.

First two runs (November) were her best from this season and she didn't shine back in handicaps on last two outings; however, her 2m4f win in a big-field handicap at 2024 Aintree festival should not be forgotten and she also ran well in Graded/Listed contests for most of last term; needs a close look, particularly given Dan Skelton's fine record in handicap hurdles at this meeting.

Useful mare (dual Listed scorer) but last two efforts, latest back at handicap level, suggest she's unlikely to defy top weight in this warm field.

There's a suspicion she's on a tough mark and that a longer trip is preferable; however, she won at Aintree's Grand National meeting in 2024 on the last occasion she tackled a handicap (2m4f, soft) and she's won two Listed races since; this classy mare is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Consistent handicapper at up to 3m2f last term and may bounce back with Newbury reappearance (below par) under her belt; however, she's a stone inferior to stablemate Kateira on ratings and faces a difficult task.

Form & Verdict
Ditcheat mare who has a record of 3-12 over hurdles; ran out an emphatic winner in Ayr handicap (3m, good to soft) when last seen seven months ago and, assuming she returns in similar form, looks an interesting contender for last year's winning connections.

Inconsistent but she returned to form with a convincing win in first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; she'll have no problem with the step up in trip; contender if the headgear maintains its effect.

Form & Verdict
Had wind surgery prior to running creditably in Wincanton handicap (2m5f, good to soft) this month, taking hurdles form figures to 41113 and shaping as if she's ready for a crack at 3m (pedigree backs that up); remains open to further improvement; possibilities.

Four-time winner over hurdles who made it 2-4 over fences with a 15l success in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (3m, good) eight days ago; Beau Morgan's claim partly offsets the 7lb penalty and she is a major player once again.
