J: Rob Hornby

T: Nicky Henderson

In good form when last seen on the Flat, going down narrowly over 1m3f at Southwell last March, and successful three times over hurdles since; however, she ran poorly in that sphere in November and has stamina to prove on her return to the AW.

Four and three-runner races when she won over 2m here in April and May; came up well short, however, in her hat-trick bid when 5-4 favourite at Warwick nearly six weeks ago, which dents her claims.

Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles but runner-up on her last five outings, the last twice under Tom Broughton in handicaps last month; should be fine on today's ground and is likely to be right in the thick of things again.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Fergal O’Brien

Runner-up on the last seven of her ten hurdling starts, including a C&D handicap in April; her limitations are exposed but there is nothing obviously wrong with her attitude and she has a good chance at the weights in this run-of-the-mill maiden; suited by good and soft ground.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner as a juvenile hurdler and well handicapped on form as recent as last summer; suffered worrying slump in the autumn but made satisfactory reappearance on the Flat last month and will be dangerous if back on song.

5 yo Filly

OR: 103

Form & Verdict
Failed to win during fairly light campaign last season but ran well from the front when close third at Stratford (2m, good to soft) last month, after a break, and has a significant role to play if the addition of cheekpieces has any positive effect here.

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.

Record of 3-6 since switched to fences, comfortably beating her two rivals at Sedgefield (2m, good to firm) most recently; faces a tougher task in this field but may progress further.

7 yo Mare

OR: 82

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement after a wind op last spring, winning at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and Worcester (2m, good); probably not ideally suited by the soft ground when reappearing with respectable fourth last month, and may resume her progress if aided by first-time cheekpieces here.

Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner on good/good to soft ground last year (2m-2m3f) and back on a good mark now but weakened at Stratford last month, after a layoff, and seems to have a few quirks; others are less risky.

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.
