Form & Verdict
Made very promising start to rules career in 2022-23 and ran fair race when sixth at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) 18 days ago on her first outing since November 2023; this 10yo is well treated on her old form and could build on that latest performance; yard won this last year and she's a possible.

11yo who hasn't been at her best over fences on her two runs this term; however, she reverts to hurdles after a wind op, off the same mark as for her hurdle win at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last April; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Very solid campaign last season, winning twice (2m7f/3m, good to soft/soft), and she was a fair fourth in a tough handicap at Sandown (2m7f, heavy) on this month's belated reappearance; drops back down in grade today and could play a leading role.

Dual hurdle winner last season (2m7f/3m) and returned from ten-month break with two good efforts in February, latterly when second to Felicie Du Maquis at Ludlow (3m, soft); will probably be in the shake-up again.

Form & Verdict
Returned to some form when third at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft) last month and she's also effective on soft; might not be far away but she's won just one of her 18 starts and others therefore have more compelling claims.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Henry Daly

8lb higher than for last year's convincing win in this race which was staged at Cheltenham; only subsequent win in six races came at the expense of just three rivals at Ludlow in November (3m1f, good); lacklustre in her last three starts and hard to support with any confidence.

Made it 3-5 over fences with win here (3m1f, good) in November and good Listed second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) next time; perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December last time; could bounce back with a big run if conditions suit.

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.

Triple hurdle winner who scored off 3lb higher at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last February; some creditable efforts since but she didn't fire in a mares' handicap at Market Rasen (tenth of 12) last month; needs to step up again after that and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Below best this season and others are more obvious; however, it was her chase debut last time and she shaped as though the return to a staying trip may suit when a distant second of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) two starts ago; won soft-ground 2m novice last season; no forlorn hope.

Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous.
