Form & Verdict
Beaten just over 2l by the top-class Golden Ace in a good-ground novice here in February; hasn't really kicked on from there but still ran well in her latest handicap (4l off the winner); should have no trouble staying this longer trip.

Bumper winner who is 0-8 over hurdles, albeit in the frame six times; better than her finishing position would suggest at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month, but she still needs to find more to get her head in front; tongue-tie returns.

Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to predict but she was confidently ridden from well off the pace when winning narrowly at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last week; essentially off the same mark here with Callum Pritchard's claim erasing the penalty.

Rewarded very patient Gavin Sheehan ride when winning here (2m3f, good to soft) last month but has a very mixed record this year and her current mark probably demands a career-best performance.

Likely unsuited by soft ground last time and is better judged on her respectable form earlier in November; however, has something to prove back over 2m, having looked best at 2m3f/2m4f.

Form & Verdict
First and a close third in two handicaps this summer and was going perfectly well when coming down off this mark at Stratford in July; still looks feasibly treated but will have to click with new 10lb partner Chad Bament.

Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again.

Dual hurdle winner including over C&D (good); last success was off a similar mark at Plumpton in February but she's been disappointing in both runs since; hurdle record is now 2-14 and has something to prove after another break.

Won at Worcester (2m4f, good) and then second at Warwick; went up a collective 11lb for those runs but there may have been more to it when well below that level last time; could bounce back.
