OR: 65

Form & Verdict
Kept on well for second off her lowly mark at Taunton in March and again ran well when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) last month; competes from 8lb out of the weights but at least we know she's in good heart.

Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust.

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.

Form & Verdict
Opened account over hurdles at Southwell (2m, good) a year ago and returned from layoff with creditable second at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; obvious contender if in similar form again on this chasing debut.

Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today.

J: Murray Dodd

T: Mel Rowley

Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible.

7 yo Filly

OR: 91

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent over hurdles last year and absence since running as though something was amiss over fences in November; however, she ran well when second on her chasing debut at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) in October and that piece of form makes her of strong interest in this modest race.

Only fifth of eight on her return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month, but despite some iffy jumping she was only caught on the run-in; has dropped to a handy mark and could go well; stable also runs Gerard Mentor.

Quirky mare who returned from a layoff with a below-par chase run six weeks ago; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others in this field look less risky.

Better efforts have been on soft ground and if the rain stays away this will be only her second start on a sound surface; each-way player based on her best form but needs to be much better than her last two starts; tongue-tie removed and blinkers now go on.

Form: /115P- C

8 yo Mare

OR: 99

Form & Verdict
Struck form with two good-ground chase wins from off the pace last spring (2m3f here/2m4f; both under Sean Bowen), but looked badly out of sorts on her two starts in the autumn; may find 2m1f a bit too sharp on this reappearance.

2-13 over fences, latest off 1lb higher in June 2024 under Sean Bowen; form has been mixed since but she ran well for a long way at Chepstow on return from nearly four months off; on a fair mark if building on that.
