Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest.

Slightly disappointing at Southwell 12 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but her close third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) was a pretty good effort and she has possibilities here if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m5f.

Form & Verdict
Two fair chase runs this winter but may be better employed back hurdling, having run so well in one previous handicap, at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last March against one who is much more highly rated now; good contender.

Never better than on her last three starts, winning a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) on first occasion; minor honours in Grade 2 events since (hooded last time, not today); reliable and basically progressive but she needs to resume improvement in this hot handicap.

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Won 2m3f maiden last April and put up a stout show over 2m4f (soft) at Aintree on Boxing Day against one ahead of her mark; unsuited by the return to 2m1f at Newcastle since, but the addition of cheekpieces today is a query; should have solid claims for last year's winning yard.

Had rather mixed record over hurdles last season but her clearcut win at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in January was a good performance, and her Irish point dead-heat in 2021 bodes well for her prospects on this chasing debut; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Noel Williams

Won with authority under Dylan Johnston at Leicester (2m4f, soft; five ran) in January on second start for this yard but has made two backward steps since; that latest came when tried at 3m, which sees the cheekpieces go on today and she's got a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins from 14 attempts for Henry de Bromhead, mostly at about 2m but latest win was over 2m3f at Downpatrick (good to yielding) last June; sold for £20,000 since last seen in September; needs to show she's suited by 2m4f on soft and she goes without her regular tongue-tie.

2-21 in Ireland, mostly for Henry de Bromhead and with latest win last June (made most); not nearly so good in her three runs for new yard but latest defeat was not as heavy and Irish record suggests that a return to better ground would be very much in her favour; title-challenging stable has made some telling strikes in handicaps this spring and she is one to note.
