Form & Verdict
Warwick bumper winner in February 2023 (2m, good); won two-finisher mares' novice at Southwell on second and final hurdle start last November (2m, heavy; pulled hard); plenty to prove on return from a break on her chase debut, notably her stamina (first run at this trip).

Highly progressive during last season's first chase campaign, culminating in Listed mares' win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in February; back to her best when beaten just over 6l by Spindleberry at Doncaster (2m4f, good; Listed) in December and she's 5lb better off with the winner today; won on heavy ground over hurdles; not ruled out each-way at forecast big odds.

First season over fences could barely have gone much better with four wins from five starts, latterly in a 2m4f Listed event at Huntingdon (good to soft) which she won despite jumping out to her left throughout (previous wins were on left-handed tracks); every chance on these terms if resuming where she left off; goes from the front.

Experienced chaser; best fresh and ran well after a break when beaten a nose in a Ffos Las handicap last December (2m5f, heavy); didn't run as well again subsequently; well treated; interesting now back after 176 days off.

Built on November's promising reappearance when a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (2m5f, soft), but has failed to reproduce that level since and was pulled up at Taunton eight days ago; capable off this mark but she isn't the easiest to predict.

Overall record of 4-35 but her last win was a dominant display at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight back at Fakenham last month; risks attached.

Not the force of old but exploited favourable mark when beating Jacks Touch by 21l in two-finisher C&D (soft) contest last month, her second C&D success; also suited by much faster ground but has gone back up 7lb.

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences.

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams.

Looked useful in bumpers and was a promising novice hurdler last season, albeit during a rather mixed campaign; stopped quickly and was pulled up when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but it would be foolish to write off her chasing career after that.

Improved when switched to fences with cheekpieces last term, winning 2m7f chases at Huntingdon (soft) and Lingfield (heavy); form tailed off after that but fair run after a break with no headgear (not on here either) earlier this month (2m5f, good to soft); not sure this will be her ideal track.

Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations.
