Form & Verdict
Dam stayed well on the Flat and over jumps and this one had no trouble with the step up to 1m4f when winning with something in hand under a 7lb claimer at Catterick (good to firm) recently; a likely improver now handicapping for yard that's having a good year.

J: Harry Skelton

Fair Flat racer who was placed in Listed races at Wetherby (2m, good) and Newbury (2m, soft) on her first two hurdling starts; below that form in another Listed race in January but still very much the one to beat here.

Three-time Flat winner who has been placed in Listed races on her two hurdle starts, most recently runner-up to Highland Crystal at Newbury (2m, soft) when beaten just under 7l; 5lb better off with the winner today and can give another good account, but improvement is needed if she's to win this.

J: Tristan Durrell

Completed a hat-trick at about 1m4f earlier this year for Michael Bell, whom she left after finishing last in a 1m6f handicap in August; of useful ability and has joined a top yard for hurdling career; not entirely dismissed as a 3yo filly receiving weight all round.

Form & Verdict
Beat subsequent triple winner when improving to win on handicap debut at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in October; not gone on from that, hooded two starts ago and tongue tied latest and needs a break since to have restored her.

Now 311 over C&D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere.

J: Sean Levey

Registered a 1m2f double on good to firm last July, with the first leg at this track; off the boil in the autumn (with cheekpieces added on final start) but one result is that she's now just 1lb above her last winning mark.

6 yo Filly

OR: 57

Form & Verdict
Can lead; C&D winner on good to firm; needed her reappearance but she came clear with the short-priced favourite at Brighton (1m2f) 12 days ago; unfortunate that she's gone back up 4lb but should still go well for yard that has a good strike-rate with older horses this year.

All five wins on good or quicker ground, including firm; C&D winner who finished close up behind one who was ahead of her mark in this race last year and she's likely to be primed for this; leading claims for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise on her second 2yo start, over about 7f at Beverley, but she hasn't achieved much in handicaps over 1m2f and 1m this year; enough to prove going the other way in trip.

Won over C&D in November but that is her sole win from 20 starts and she's been out of sort in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces back on.
