Last run: 20 days

Form & Verdict
Won his handicap hurdle at this track (2m4f) and it was over C&D (again on good) when off the mark over fences at the sixth attempt here 20 days ago when in a first-time tongue-tie and blinkers; only appeared to do enough that day and he's gone up only 3lb; visor replaces blinkers.

All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise.

Both wins over fences have been over C&D, the first in first-time headgear a year ago; not at his best when fifth in the Sussex National back here 13 days ago but must be taken seriously down in grade with visor replacing blinkers.

W: 11st 3lb

6 yo Filly

OR: 114

Form & Verdict
Races prominently; form figures of 1121 in handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m7f) and had a nice bit in hand at Chepstow last time (good; ridden by Lily Bradstock); raised 6lb for that but brings plenty of potential into handicaps.

Three-time hurdle winner who showed career-best form when game winner of Cheltenham chase (3m1f, good to soft) off today's mark in October; not seen since first-fence fall in December, though, and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip.

Record of 3-7 over hurdles and has finished runner-up in small fields on both her runs over fences, at 3m1f and 2m5f (good ground); kept to the same grade off a similar mark she should be on the scene.

Form & Verdict
His second over 2m4f (good) here 13 months ago reads well but he's become a hard horse to predict and previous ventures over 3m+ have amounted to little.

Form & Verdict
Has only won going right handed but can jump to the left; seemed anchored by the 10lb rise when a remote third at Hereford, though he was taken on up front; that might happen here as well but he's 4-4 under the returning Sean Bowen.

Has proved consistent in points this winter and looks likely to give his running in this hunter chase debut; however, faces a difficult task on rules form, as ratings reflect.

Won five handicap chases in the space of six starts during the winter; that came a cost mark-wise and he was twice well held before suffering same fate back over hurdles last time (2m7f novice; tried blinkers); bit to prove now.
