5-15 over hurdles, including a good-ground win over C&D; can easily be excused her below-par run on soft ground in December but has fitness to prove after 198-day break.

Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with two good efforts in Class 2 events this summer, the latter on slower-than-ideal ground over C&D last month, and looks the one to beat in this easier race.

Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with good third (just behind My Chiquita) at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is still on a workable mark (even from 1lb out of the weights) but the forecast rain is a worry.

Not without hope back on good ground as they were strong handicaps on too soft a surface when below par the last twice.

Low-mileage 8yo who returned from mammoth absence with three runs this spring; unable to justify heavy market support when third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time but still ran pretty well; remains of interest.

Dual bumper winner who has also won two novice hurdles, the second at Plumpton in January 2022 (2m4f, soft); was off for 809 days after that and hasn't recaptured his form in two runs since, latest at Punchestown (2m3f yielding); well handicapped now.

Form & Verdict
Ended last season with creditable third in valuable mares' chase at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and now reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; confidence in her would be slightly higher on slow ground but she still enters calculations.

On a long losing run but she wasn't discredited on the back of wind surgery when fourth of six in 2m3f Warwick handicap 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark.

Runner-up at Ludlow last February and now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since; has had wind surgery since last time, which needs to make a big difference.

Irish point winner; unexposed under rules after only four starts but was just a respectable fifth when upped to 3m for last month's handicap debut at Southwell (good) and will need a better performance here.

Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed.
