Form & Verdict
Clear runner-up on debut in Irish mares' maiden point (3m, heavy) in October; handed a tough assignment for her rules debut but this half-sister to useful 2m hurdle winner Della Casa Lunga brings potential and is one to watch in the betting.

Just held on to land big prize at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but wasn't in quite the same form on next two outings (2m3f/3m) and probably needs to find hidden reserves.

Game when winning 2m4f handicap at Windsor (good) on New Year's Day, shaping as though she would be worth a crack at a staying trip; soundly beaten at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) since, and in view of this longer distance it's a concern she failed to settle that day, but she's not ruled out.

Has bits of form on soft, campaigned mostly on faster ground; steadily back to form this term and landed a valuable handicap, holding on by a neck, at Windsor (2m4f) most recently; should remain competitive.

Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance.

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form.

Keeps getting better and she followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event over the same C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival today and there's unlikely to be much between them.

Form & Verdict
Well-backed favourite when winning easily on debut at Newbury (2m, soft) last month; the strength of that form is open to question, with the 10l runner-up finishing well beaten next time, but she was certainly impressive and could well play a leading role this afternoon.

When a wide-margin Listed race winner at Doncaster it was against her own sex and very few in that eight-runner race appeared to handle the deteriorating conditions; went off 50-1 for the Albert Bartlett and performed accordingly; 3-6 over hurdles and she's a contender with her sights lowered.

Record of 3-5 over hurdles; no mare has won this race but few have tried and The Big Westerner was runner-up 12 months ago; however, although a wide-margin winner at Doncaster last time, that was against her own sex and very few in that eight-runner race appeared to handle the conditions; reservations.

Wouldn't be without hope judged on her near-miss at this level at Haydock in December (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and doubt she was seen to best effect when scraping home at Fontwell (2m1f); behind a couple of these at Warwick (2m3f) but heavy ground might not have suited (withdrawn previously on account of those conditions) and she also lost a shoe.

Seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when clear second at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in November and ran well for a long way before fading into fifth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas; this drop back in trip looks the right move; probably won't be far away.
