T: S R B Crawford

Returned from a break with a comfortable, all-the-way win in six-runner handicap at Ayr (3m, good) three weeks ago; also effective on soft ground; that was a career best and further improvement can't be ruled out, but she's gone up 7lb and this race is a much tougher test of her credentials.

8 yo Mare

OR: 143

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced for an 8yo; unplaced in two chase runs this autumn but there have been excuses and she's the clear pick of these on hurdles form, which includes a third in a big-field 3m handicap at Aintree in the spring; major player.

C&D winner for whom a good case can be made on last season's peak efforts; hasn't hit the same heights on her four runs this term but Kempton last time was a step back in the right direction and she could take another today in first-time cheekpieces; chance.

Form & Verdict
Progressed well to win two bumpers and her first four races over hurdles (2m-2m4f, mainly on good ground), including Listed event at Galway, but has been below par in two races at Cheltenham since; bred to stay this longer trip; needs to get back on track but could still resume progress.
