Two novice wins last season (2m5f/2m4f, soft) and she made it 2-2 here with a narrow win last time (2m5f, good to soft); showed promise over 3m two starts ago and could have more to offer now back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Can race freely but saw it out well under Daire McConville when coming from the back to win a 2m6f maiden at Stratford (80-1) in October and mares' novice over C&D in December, both on good to soft; out of her depth at Newbury in between; brings potential to handicap debut.

Bumper winner in Ireland; compiling a useful hurdle record, having won at Stratford (2m6f) and Ludlow (2m5f, also good to soft) either side of a tough task; stout effort in defeat on handicap debut at Ludlow latest and the new trip can suit; hood refitted (unseated the only previous time worn).

Form & Verdict
Won handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f) in October and improved again when second of 11 at Plumpton (2m5f; pair clear) in early December, both from off the pace on good to soft; up another 4lb, which demands better still, but she's heading the right way.

11st 11lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Neil Mulholland

Won on handicap debut over C&D (good to soft) in October; good placed efforts in next two runs including a close third at Ludlow, but she was disappointing back at this track (2m6f, soft) last time; bit to prove again after that but she still has potential over hurdles and this drop back in trip looks a good move.

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
10yo who has run here three times, for two wins and a second; latest win came by a nose over fences in October and she also ran creditably in that sphere on latest start when second to Superbolt (runs 3.45 today) two months ago, both over 3m here; big player if in the same form returned to hurdles.

Scored off this mark over fences at Ludlow (3m, good) in October and ran quite well when fourth in 2m5f hurdle there (good to soft) in February, but the addition of cheekpieces did not appear to help much two starts ago and she was again below par (without headgear) last month.

Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles but could hardly have gone any closer in handicap at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day when last seen; back up 3lb but the stable's big-race double at Musselburgh last weekend heightens interest.
