Won three in a row early last year (2m4f-2m6f, good/good to soft) before keeping on well for second over 3m1f at Cheltenham (good); returned from break with good second at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she's high on the list today.

Five-time chase winner (good/good to soft; once over C&D); absent since very respectable third at Aintree (2m4f, good) last May but this race is easier and she features prominently in calculations.

Back in prime form towards end of last season, winning three in a row (2m4f-2m6f) before creditable second in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); ought to be right in the thick of things again here.

Form & Verdict
Not at her best this season but the refitted cheekpieces have helped lately and she kept on for second (no threat to winner) in a valuable series final over C&D (good) last month; respected.

Placed in valuable series final over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January but rest of last season's form was disappointing and it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood for this return to hurdling; tried blinkers when pulled up last time; usual cheekpieces return.

T: Noel Williams

Arrested her decline when placed in valuable final of this mares' series here (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in January; two lesser efforts have followed and she's unreliable nowadays but she could be too good for this field if perked up by a change of headgear.

Made all in this race on good ground a year ago and returned to some form with third in a valuable series final at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January; however, not so good when back at Fakenham last month and this regressive 10yo has become unreliable.

Form & Verdict
0-4 over fences last season; her close second at Exeter (2m1f, soft) two starts ago was a good effort and her current mark is workable but she has fitness to prove after a 401-day absence.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Nicky Martin

Hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good to soft) who comes into it on the pick of her chase form, a close second at Exeter (2m1f, soft) in late 2023; has to show that drying ground suits but she's entitled to have a say after needing her comeback run following an absence.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten on last month's handicap hurdle debut (2m3f) but there was significant promise in her earlier qualifying runs and she remains very unexposed; no surprise if she displays the necessary improvement on today's chasing debut.
