Form & Verdict
Front-running winner over C&D in December when only 1lb lower; soft ground an excuse next time but her Fontwell effort (2m5f, good) was also underwhelming; difficult to know what to expect from her but an easy lead would aid her cause.

Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a novice hurdle and again on handicap debut at Hereford when only 2l off the winner (2m, good to soft); subsequent efforts at about 2m3f weren't so encouraging, weakening on both occasions; has a bit to prove now but still commands some respect.

J: Jonathan Burke

Had heavy ground as an excuse when pulled up on chase debut in February after nine months off and fared a lot better back on a sounder surface when second of six at Ludlow (2m4f, good) 25 days ago; her jumping was a bit iffy but is entitled to get better with experience; enters calculations.

Competitive over hurdles last spring and heavy ground was a feasible excuse when pulled up on chase debut at Leicester in February after 281 days off (had lost position when sprawling at the 11th); can be given another chance.

Form & Verdict
Some promise for Dan Skelton and again when fifth of 16 on debut for this yard at Warwick (2m3f handicap) after a long absence; tailed off since over 2m (latterly only last week at Stratford) but returning to further can help, as might the cheekpieces.

Showed bits of promise for Henry De Bromhead; now 0-11 but it was her first completion for this yard when an 80-1 third at Southwell (2m4f handicap on good to soft) and was beaten under 6l; clear chance if building on that.
