Well related but hasn't looked up to much as yet, albeit her half-sister Alerta Roja improved sharply once upped to this sort of trip in handicaps; it's too soon to write her off.

Has been in good form over fences of late and is fairly treated back on the Flat; no surprise were he to take a serious hand on this Tapeta debut.

Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable.

Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn.

Form & Verdict
Bettered his four spring efforts, back from four months off, at Kempton a month ago; shaped there as though worth a try over this longer trip and that gave something to build on, so goes on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced in recent times but remains consistent and goes well fresh, so the 54-day layoff looks a positive in her case; is 0-13 on the AW and 8lb higher than when last seen on it but she has fair claims of backing up her Catterick win.

Form & Verdict
Two wins to her name from four runs over C&D, latterly off 9lb higher last October; has never been the most consistent but she didn't look to see out 2m back on Tapeta last time and is one to consider off a career-low mark.
