Form & Verdict
Keen-goer who reverted to much more positive tactics when second to a course specialist at Ludlow (3m, good) last month; remains on a good mark and could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm here.

Trailblazing front-runner who won by a wide margin off reduced mark at Plumpton (3m1f, good; 8lb higher today) in November, in between two seconds, but she was done with five fences from home when 25-1 at Hereford on latest outing; 7lb claimer takes over on board.

Inherited a remote second at Plumpton before plugging on for third at Fontwell (3m3f; ahead of Musical Slave); this longer trip can only be a good thing and he has each-way claims for sure.

Pulled up twice this season but was badly hampered on reappearance and never on an even keel after early mistakes at Warwick last time; far from disgraced over 3m4f here in between; returning to 3m should suit and he's been given a big chance by the handicapper; interesting at likely lengthy odds.

Form & Verdict
Course regular; capitalised upon some help from the handicapper when winning three-runner contest at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April but has often shown a tendency to race lazily, and was pulled up after virtually grinding to a halt on final circuit at Fontwell last month; risky.

Regressive 8yo who won a three-runner race in the spring but has developed a tendency to race lazily; soundly beaten on all three appearances this season and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task on this first venture beyond 3m2f.

Progressive 2212 record in handicap hurdles; scored in gritty fashion at Ascot (nearly 3m1f) in November and put up another most tenacious performance when beaten a head, having made most, over an extended 2m7f there (again on good; probably acts on soft) one month later; up another 5lb but surely won't go down without a fight.
