Form: 12271- CD

W: 11st 9lb

5 yo Filly

OR: 110

Form & Verdict
In good form on AW since the winter and was left clear at final flight for wide-margin C&D (good) win when back over hurdles last month; could still have more to offer under this code, and her recent 5lb rise is partially offset by Freddie Gordon's useful 3lb claim .

9st 7lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Nicky Henderson

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.

11st 6lb

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.

5 yo Filly

OR: 103

11st 8lb

J: Toby Wynne

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Record of 4-12 over hurdles but she was vulnerable in her final three runs last year including over C&D (good); now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs to rediscover her spark after six months off.

4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently there this month, after a break, but kept on steadily for a modest third and may still have scope for further progress.

10 yo Mare

OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more.

Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last October and is now just 1lb higher; however, this 10yo hasn't been at the top of her game on either outing this spring and was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time.
