12st 0lb |
Jumping to her right and looked out of sorts at Southwell in June but was in good form on right-handed tracks beforehand, winning at Taunton (2m5f, soft) and finishing second over C&D (good); back on a clockwise course today and a big player if back on song after her break. |

10st 4lb |
Came good over fences at third attempt, with clearcut win from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March; 8lb rise asks quite a lot of her here but the longer trip might unlock further improvement and she should be fine if the ground stays good. |

10st 2lb |
0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Twice placed over fences (0-7) and twice runner-up over hurdles this year; latest run wasn't her best (also over hurdles) but she goes on all ground and the form is there to feature. |

Just a respectable fourth over fences at Taunton (2m5f, soft) seven weeks ago and now 0-9 under rules but reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and good ground also suits; tongue-tie added; a possible. |

Good start to chasing career when third behind two next-time-out winners at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; was on the retreat when falling back at 2m2f here in early February (good ground no excuse) but hard to rule out. |

Just 1-14 over hurdles but she made it 2-5 over fences when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month; came up a bit short when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) 12 days ago, but that was another good effort and she's respected on this drop back in trip. |

Sole win (33 races) was on good ground here but in 2021; results over the last year have been pretty grim (latest in first-time cheekpieces) and she's now 6lb out of the handicap; unraced beyond an extended 2m5f. |

Bumper and dual hurdle winner; 0-7 over fences and jumping lacked fluency when a tailed-off third last time (2m4f, heavy), with that on the back of a fall; stable having plenty of winners but this mare needs to pull her socks up. |

Bumper winner who went 0-10 over hurdles (five times second) but she moved well for a long way when a 14l third at Ludlow (3m, soft) and the winner was well handicapped; should go well in the new cheekpieces. |
