OR:

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 331 in bumpers and she made a promising start over hurdles when third of 12 at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; was beaten less than 4l in that race and she should benefit from the experience; solid contender.

Good-ground bumper winner who landed a maiden hurdle at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October and scored at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago on her second handicap start; she could do with jumping better but this step up in trip may well be a plus and her stable is in fine form.

Low-mileage 6yo who won a Hexham maiden in the autumn and ended up with a lot to do before running on well for a clear second on last month's handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft); has to take a recent 5lb rise on the chin but probably still has a bigger run in her.

Form & Verdict
Bought for £42,000 after her dominant display in an Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March; tongue-tie is now added on her return but she looks an interesting recruit to hurdling for Lucinda Russell and is a half-sister to four winners in this sphere; big player.

Form & Verdict
0-9 over hurdles but she went close in a 2m Listed novice for Nicky Henderson last December and was a respectable second of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft; second run after wind surgery) three weeks ago; her overall record isn't very convincing but has each-way claims if she can build on that last run.
