Form & Verdict
Placed a few times over hurdles/fences in Ireland last year; well beaten in March on stable debut but shaped quite well in competitive handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month and is eased in grade for this return to chasing; might be the answer.

Poor strike-rate and both wins were in Ireland; mostly consistent in small-field chases this season and the return of blinkers is a probable plus after trying a visor last time; has been running over shorter but stays this far; versatile ground-wise.

Yet to add to his two Irish hurdle wins in 2021 but consistent in small-field chases this season, with best run arguably his second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; swaps usual blinkers for first-time visor; will probably be on the premises again.

Won on soft ground in Ireland; 0-6 over fences but back in good form of late, albeit in tiny fields; not the easiest to win with but has claims.

Form & Verdict
Won cosily on Irish point debut just over a year ago (good to yielding) and needed only to be nudged out to make winning rules debut in run-of-the-mill mares' maiden hurdle in January; last month's handicap hurdle debut was disappointing but she remains a good prospect for fences this season.

1-10 for current stable over the last year, the win gained off today's mark at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in November; needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort over that C&D last month but ran quite well in a valuable series final two starts ago and is of interest here.

Ex-Skelton mare who is 1-9 for current yard; not disgraced in a better race at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time and could have a part to play.

Front-runner who is suited by good ground and was in good form over hurdles last summer/autumn; has fitness to prove on this chasing debut but her current mark is workable and her dam won over fences.

J: Isabelle Ryder

Made all in three-runner mares' chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last month and is now 4-8 over fences; faces tougher task from 3lb out of the weights here but is evidently in good nick, and new jockey Isabelle Ryder claims 5lb.

Made it 3-6 over fences when winning easily in a small field at Sedgefield in October (2m) and later that month she bumped into the useful Bluey (whom Queens Gamble beat for her last win) at Kempton (2m2f, good); chance at these weights if fitness isn't an issue.

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner (mostly on good ground) who made quite promising chase debut when third (albeit well held) in better race than this at Kempton (2m4f, good) in November; raced too freely and was below that form the following month but still enters calculations here.
