J: Rob Hornby

In good form when last seen on the Flat, going down narrowly over 1m3f at Southwell last March, and successful three times over hurdles since; however, she ran poorly in that sphere in November and has stamina to prove on her return to the AW.

J: Freddie Gordon

Four and three-runner races when she won over 2m here in April and May; came up well short, however, in her hat-trick bid when 5-4 favourite at Warwick nearly six weeks ago, which dents her claims.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 6yo who shaped with promise in her three qualifying races towards the end of last year, most notably when close fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) on second occasion; drops in trip and encounters much quicker ground on this handicap debut but open to improvement if this different test suits.

Form & Verdict
Built upon her encouraging stable/hurdle debut when beating a good yardstick at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and looked set to justify very skinny odds before last-flight fall at Catterick (2m, good) last month; leading contender on this handicap debut.

Fair form when runner-up in two Irish maiden hurdles for Henry de Bromhead in September but did not look straightforward when pulled up on both starts for new stable this year; may yet get her career back on track but looks very risky at present; tongue-tie added today.
