Form & Verdict
Third in two Listed mares' bumpers (2m, soft) early last year and won easily at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in November on her second hurdle start; soundly beaten sixth on handicap debut at Newbury but no surprise if she bounces back with a good run in a first-time tongue-tie.

Won 2m4f handicap at Sandown (soft) in December and she ran well in defeat in Listed/Grade 2 races on next two starts (2m4f/1m7f, good/soft); mid-race unseat at Cheltenham last week; she's a half-sister to a 3m2f winner and it's possible this new trip will be within range; in with a chance.

Followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event there in January; another sound effort when a rallying third of four in 2m Ascot mares' Grade 2 (soft) since; the return to further will suit but she has plenty to find on form.

Keeps getting better and she followed a clearcut handicap win at Sandown (2m4f, soft) with a good fourth to Nurse Susan in a Listed event over the same C&D two weeks ago; 4lb better off with that rival today and there's unlikely to be much between them.

7 yo Mare

OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-8 over hurdles when below par here (2m4f, soft) last month, and a longer trip may be preferable; however, she's been consistent otherwise in this sphere and went close in a handicap here (3m, heavy) in December; ran well over 2m last season; could be a leading player if back on song.

Came good over fences at sixth attempt, with 3m success here (heavy) in January, and ran as well as could have been expected when fourth of five in Wincanton Listed race (1m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; still on a good mark; good chance.

Point/bumper winner, who made the breakthrough over fences at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) two weeks ago but that was a minor handicap and she has lots to find back at 2m in this Listed race.

Commenced her career with point/bumper wins; 0-17 since (0-5 in chases) but has a largely consistent record at Ffos Las and looks a solid contender in that respect; on a reduced mark and drops back in grade.

OR: 122

Form & Verdict
Placed over hurdles and fences in France before making all in three-runner 3yo hurdle on British debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in December, form that was boosted by the runner-up; disappointing at Taunton since but perhaps the good to soft ground wasn't ideal; strong claims if leaving that behind.

J: Freddie Gingell

Winning hurdler who remains a maiden over fences after seven attempts, making the frame on all six completed attempts but without suggesting she's particularly well treated; back in trip but likely needs to find more off current mark to get her head in front.

Winning hurdler who has finished runner-up in four of her six races as a chaser; fell at the 14th fence when upped to 3m1f at Wincanton (soft) last month but was travelling well at the time and she still has potential in this sphere; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Carries double penalty having won two handicaps in May/June (including C&D), but she was a creditable second of 16 in the same scenario in a Warwick novice (2m5f, soft) on New Year's Eve; entitled to respect.
