4-10 over fences and better than ever this season with front-running wins at Taunton (2m7f; good to soft/good); this track will suit her style but a collective 17lb rise for those wins could see her vulnerable.

Lightly raced this term but she looked better than ever last time when gaining a second C&D success, cosily making all; hiked up 10lb but she's a big player.

J: Robbie David

T: Kathy Turner

Front-running winner of this race last year, but she's had only three runs since and was tailed off at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; needs to bounce back after that but she's feasibly treated if she can get back near best; has won on good and heavy ground.

Form & Verdict
Two-time good-ground hurdle winner who showed considerable improvement when winning in good style on her chase debut at Leicester (2m6f, soft) three weeks ago; on that evidence a 7lb rise may not stop her.

Won over 3m1f as a chaser earlier in the season but was a well-held third of five on her return to hurdling over C&D a month ago (soft no excuse); others preferred with cheekpieces now given a go.

J: Murray Dodd

T: Stuart Edmunds

Has been chasing and won around Hereford in November (3m1f, good; won on soft), despite jumping out to her left; repeated the dose when only fourth there last month; returns to hurdling off a useful mark (without taking into account Murray Dodd's claim) and she's won twice in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
Good-ground point winner who often ran well in defeat over hurdles and did likewise when third of six on last month's chase debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft); having jumped to the left last time she could improve for switching to a left-handed track today and she's not ruled out.

Back below the mark of November's mares' handicap win at Fakenham (2m6f, good to soft); rarely operated at that level since, with little about two latest runs suggesting April's wind surgery has done anything for her.

J: Harry Cobden

T: David Pipe

Won over fences last season (2m5f, good to soft) but it was an up-and-down campaign in both disciplines; ran moderately on the back of wind surgery on return to hurdles at Southwell but certainly has a big run in her if she can rediscover her form.

Form & Verdict
Point (3m, good) and handicap hurdle (2m3f, soft) winner who was a promising third on her chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month when back from a long absence; disappointing at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) since but not written off in view of her penultimate effort.
