Form & Verdict

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Form & Verdict
All three wins gained on AW (1m5f/1m6f) and latest was in October 2021; good second off 3lb higher at Catterick (2m, good to firm) in May 2022, but he's not seen much action since and was beaten a long way over hurdles last month; hard to know how much ability remains and he has something to prove for another new yard.

Form & Verdict
8yo who is not easy to predict but he's won two of his last three starts and had plenty in hand when forging clear under Matt Brown at Catterick (1m4f) last Tuesday; 1lb well in under a penalty for that success and he's a major player again; last win was on good to soft but he's versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner (1m2f) who won twice over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f) during the winter; struggled in last two runs in that sphere but, after wind surgery, he returned to the Flat with good third at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's in the mix off unchanged mark.

In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance.

Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable.
