Form & Verdict
0-10 over hurdles for Warren Greatrex but made the frame in the mud on last four starts for that stable, most recently when close second in selling handicap at Cartmel (2m1f) in May when claimed for £6,000; had good-ground form last summer and enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Second run in a bumper (April 2023) was markedly better than her four other races; the last three were over hurdles (wind surgery before penultimate start) and she fell when well beaten on latest; has changed hands and left Noel Williams; makes handicap debut but of interest only if the market speaks in her favour.

Form & Verdict
Won at Hereford last October and second at Doncaster (also 2m, good) the following month; not disgraced in May when back from five months off and could have come on since that run, but this race might be a bit too warm; has run well for a claiming rider and an amateur is enlisted today.
