    Form & Verdict
    Won a Sandown handicap over hurdles; quiet chase debut in May but was much better here last month (good to soft) when a clear second (Endless Escape further behind); major claims with a reproduction of that effort.

    1-10 over fences; gave very good account of herself when keeping on for never-dangerous fourth in Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft) in March but she was put up 7lb for that run and may not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here.

    Hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good to soft) who comes into it on the pick of her chase form, a close second at Exeter (2m1f, soft) in late 2023; has to show that drying ground suits but she's entitled to have a say after needing her comeback run following an absence.

    Form & Verdict
    Likeable mare whose only defeat over hurdles came when a creditable seventh in Grade 2 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (2m1f, soft); fitted with a tongue-tie for chase debut (following wind op) over C&D and travelled well for a long way only to find little for pressure; may have needed that race.

    Form & Verdict
    Very nearly registered a fifth success over hurdles on her return from a break at Chepstow last month (2m3f, soft); has to concede chasing experience to some of today's opposition but could go well if taking to it.

    Runner-up at Ludlow last February and now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since; has had wind surgery since last time, which needs to make a big difference.
