7 yo Mare

OR: 91

Form & Verdict
Two wins from first four chase starts, over 2m4f (heavy) and 2m (soft), but she's found disappointingly little in her last two starts over those trips; would be very competitive if back to anything like her latest win but that's hard to predict.

Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back.

Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up.

Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now.

Form & Verdict
Has shown only low-key form in handicap chases so far, including over C&D, and makes limited appeal from out of the weights.

2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials.

6 yo Mare

OR: 92

Form & Verdict
Had little to beat when winning an Irish point; minor hurdle form in Britain but she didn't do badly behind a smart rival at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) in December; had wind surgery since last seen and goes handicap/chasing at a realistic level.

Heavy-ground Irish point winner in spring 2024; did not show a great deal in three slow-ground maiden hurdles last season (2m-2m4f) but made quite promising chase/handicap debut when third of six at Taunton (2m, good) in March and ought to be suited by this move back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Surpassed her successful hurdle form when a wide-margin chase winner from out of the weights at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in January; well held at Lingfield since but she was hampered twice between the last two and this looks less competitive; in the picture.

Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove.

Sole win (33 races) was on good ground here but in 2021; results over the last year have been pretty grim (latest in first-time cheekpieces) and she's now 6lb out of the handicap; unraced beyond an extended 2m5f.
