Consistent hurdler who won four times and the last of those was off this very mark; pointing background points to further progress as a chaser and she's not ruled out.

Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules.

Form & Verdict
Sent straight chasing by Donald McCain and has finished first or second in all four starts from 2m4f to 3m2f; jumped well out in front to win over C&D 17 days ago off just 2lb lower; might be vulnerable to something better handicapped but has a solid chance.

Has done very well this season for new yard over fences, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and going close there (2m4f, good) last time; he's going into the unknown stamina-wise but was a close second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good to soft) in July and this progressive 7yo is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Beat Dripsey Moon by just under 4l in a 2m5f novice hurdle at Kelso nearly a year ago, after which he contested a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (well held) in between two seconds in further novices; failed to give his running in a handicap the final time; wasn't the most fluent of hurdlers but fences could be the making of him.

Made all in first-time blinkers over C&D (good to soft) in November, his third course win, but was pulled up on all three subsequent outings and needs switch to first-time visor to provoke another resurgence.

11st 11lb

J: Jack Power

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Won at Kelso (3m2f) last March and first-time blinkers (retained since) prompted a career-best performance when he scored under Jack Power at same track (2m7f) in November; however, those are the only times he ran well last year, while he was pulled up in this race and also when trying 4m on soft ground at Kelso on latest outing; others look more solid.

Form & Verdict
It was a very ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; not well-in under a penalty (down 2lb in future) but if in the same form as last time he won't be far away.

Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective.
