Turned things around when winning a small-field chase at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in March but back in modest mode at Bangor; has become a hard mare to predict.

Form & Verdict
Emphatic winner on Monday's Plumpton chase debut (2m4f, good), and even penalised her mark pales next to the RPR run to there; didn't mind taking a lead that time, but no surprise to see a resumption of the front-running tactics already successfully deployed in a bumper and Irish point.

Has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year and went back-to-back at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) and Wincanton (3m1f, good); last run was too bad to be true but she did go up 7lb for that last win in a race that fell apart.

Won a bumper and over fences for Matt Crawley last season but has improved since undergoing wind surgery for her new trainer this year; appreciated the step up in trip when winning for the second time in succession at Wincanton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago; up 7lb but should be hard to beat.

Built upon a satisfactory stable debut when scoring by a neck at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) this month and is now 2-7 over fences; only 2lb higher here and will be suited by the faster ground; strong claims if stamina holds out over the new trip.

7 yo Mare

OR: 104

Form & Verdict
Last-time win in a Leicester mares' handicap (2m4f, soft) was a first in 19 races over fences and can be crabbed, the rider of the only other finisher having lost their whip; 2lb higher mark still compares most favourably to her peak French 2021-22 form, but not sure a corner's been turned.

Twice well beaten since winning by a huge margin at Bangor in November (2m4f, heavy; four ran); she's another who loves the mud (good to soft the last twice) so should give her running if nothing else.

Doubled chasing tally with huge-margin success in four-runner contest at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in November and made audacious bid from the front before weakening into eighth in big field at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; didn't run particularly well on her previous visit to Fakenham but could take some catching if she gets into a good rhythm.

8 yo Mare

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
0-17; recorded one of her best hurdles RPRs when third here in autumn 2022 (2m4f, good), but has regressed again since initially promising return from a big absence last summer and can't be confident a return to chasing will fix matters; overraced in quickly discarded cheekpieces latest.

Runner-up twice in a row last August/September and she's well treated on that form; however, four lesser performances have followed and she's now 0-16; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces.
