7 yo Mare

OR: 113

Form & Verdict
Won four in a row for Alan King early in 2022 but she was 0-7 for another yard last year; 231 days off when quite encouraging at Newbury (14-1) one month ago, having rejoined King, and she is thrown in on her old form.

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Has run in three bumpers and three hurdle races, 10-11 and making much of the running when she won well in a maiden at Hereford (2m, soft) in February latest; more is needed on this handicap debut but she looked promising last time.

J: Joe Anderson

T: Noel Williams

A winner over hurdles and off the mark as a chaser at the fourth attempt when breezing clear for a very comfortable win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft), beating Fortunefavorsdbold who runs earlier on the card; hit with an 8lb rise but the cheekpieces were new last time.

Form & Verdict
Won two juvenile hurdles; has not quite lived up to that, including in three handicaps, so others have more pressing claims.

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Jamie Snowden

Made all in three-runner mares' chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last month and is now 4-8 over fences; faces tougher task from 3lb out of the weights here but is evidently in good nick, and new jockey Isabelle Ryder claims 5lb.

Made it 3-6 over fences when winning easily in a small field at Sedgefield in October (2m) and later that month she bumped into the useful Bluey (whom Queens Gamble beat for her last win) at Kempton (2m2f, good); chance at these weights if fitness isn't an issue.

5 yo Filly

OR: 116

Form & Verdict
Won two juvenile hurdles (one Listed) last season and had a crack at a Grade 1; found it tough in this season's two handicaps but dropped 5lb in the process and a move away from soft ground may help; considered.

J: Jonathan Burke

Won this race last year (at Cheltenham) off today's mark; turned her back on chasing this winter and ran quite well over 3m at Kempton before finding soft ground too testing at Ludlow; plenty looks in her favour this time with cheekpieces added.

Returned to hurdling with respectable sixth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas and is now only 2lb higher than when winning valuable final of this series at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April but the ground here will probably be slower than she prefers.

J: Jonathan Burke

Career-best form to end last season, winning at Chepstow before collecting a mares' final at Cheltenham (both about 2m4f on good); ran respectably on return to hurdling three weeks ago but she was below form in February on her only attempt over this far; chase debut.

Form & Verdict
Three wins this season, the first at this track in July and the latest at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in November; not seen since two respectable efforts on soft in December and had wind surgery in March; probably not far away.

Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor.

Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky.
