Well beaten (bled from the nose) on penultimate outing but showed ability in her other two qualifying races, more recently when fourth in race won easily by 1-25 favourite; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but she's open to improvement in handicaps.

Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year.

Big improver over fences on joining this yard last season, notably running away with 3m Paddy Power here and good third in Ultima at Cheltenham; two runs here this term well below best, in Paddy Power and never landing a blow off considerably lower hurdles mark at DRF; another with a bit to prove right now.
