Form & Verdict
Had two lengthy breaks and restricted to just four starts since winning her maiden at Wincanton in late 2021; well below her best this season but her mark has dropped some way and she is likely to turn things around at some point.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who maintained her progress when an odds-on winner over 2m4f on soft at Musselburgh in November; responded well for pressure and merely had to be ridden out; a 4lb rise isn't too big a blow and she looks solid.

Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules.

Form & Verdict
Won twice from the front after the tongue-tie went on last spring (2m; good/good to soft); faced a stiff rise in class when beaten at Ayr in April and unlikely that she did herself justice when reappearing (after wind op) on soft ground at Wincanton in October; conditions are again a concern this afternoon.

Ended last season on a low note but ran big race in defeat at Worcester (2m, good) in August, after a break, and is still on a workable mark after a 2lb nudge; handles good to soft ground but may not want it soft.

Won a maiden and a Southwell novice handicap last spring (2m, good/good to soft); hasn't run as well since and was pulled up on first run after a wind op in a mares' final at Cheltenham last time (2m4f, good; reportedly never travelling); bit to prove back from a break.

Has only won a Fontwell 2m5f maiden for which she was odds-on; finished close up at Wetherby on her return but below that level at Hereford the last twice and she's been running over 3m.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't taken to fences this season but she was 2-4 over hurdles last campaign and she's only 3lb higher than for the handicap success; on the downside, she has something to prove on ground this soft and all her form is at 2m4f+.

Lightly raced 8yo who returned from long absence with narrow win at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was never dangerous in her follow-up bid at Windsor (fourth of eighth) last month; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more to defy this mark.

Didn't take to fences on first two starts this season; 2-4 over hurdles last campaign, latterly with a 3m win here on handicap debut, and not discredited on return to hurdling four weeks ago considering that was over only 2m; needs a second look.

Both wins over hurdles came when making all; yet to convince as a chaser, falling in two of her three starts in this sphere; a clear round would be a priority.

Returned to form with front-running win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in September and caught the eye at Stratford (2m, good) last month, after a break, making good headway from a long way off the pace before fading into fifth on the run-in; back up in trip here and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to much more positive tactics.
