Form & Verdict
Won two handicaps in a row in April/May (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and she returned from a break with a creditable third of 17 in the competitive Silver Trophy at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but she's a mare on the up and her trainer won this with Molly Ollys Wishes in 2021 and 2022; chance.

Form & Verdict
Beaten just a short head when upped in trip in Listed mares' hurdle at Limerick (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; takes a big drop back in distance this afternoon but seems versatile in terms of trip and she could still be improving, despite having had plenty of racing; could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Won early this year on first two hurdle/stable starts (2m/1m7f, soft), easily on the second occasion; showed some useful Flat form subsequently and she's fine on good ground; upped markedly in grade on this return to hurdling but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie in this code.

Progressive 6yo who took another step forward with her third in last month's Champion Hurdle (2m, heavy), when nicely clear of the fourth; she's unraced beyond 2m1f but her pedigree provides hope she'll be okay at this trip; top trainer has an excellent record in this race and she's not ruled out.
