Form & Verdict
A two-time winner (around 2m4f) for Fergal O'Brien either side of Christmas but she came in last of five at Chepstow (3m) on her final run for the yard in April; since changed hands for £5,500 and needs to bounce back for her new yard.

Partial revival on chase debut here (3m, good) in April but she did not shine at Cartmel one month later; has plenty of form to make this look an attractive mark but there are doubts on this return to hurdling.

Back on track to a certain extent when fourth switched to fences at Perth latest (3m, good), shaping as if further still is required; longer trip all to the good and is now 20lb lower than this time last year.

Won twice over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien last season; has fared less well for new yard and, having been pulled up wearing headgear on last three starts, has plenty to prove on her chase debut (no headgear this time).

Form & Verdict
C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, a close fifth of six in 3m Kelso handicap hurdle four weeks ago; he ought to be thereabouts off the same mark.

Continues to slide in the weights, now 10lb below his last winning mark (2m4f, Hexham); Kelso fourth (2m5f; in first-time blinkers) was okay but his latest Hexham effort (2m) was a poor one; plenty to prove, particularly over 3m.

J: Jack Power

Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths.

Won four-runner handicap at Hexham last June (2m4f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); disappointing since; needs first-time blinkers to bring about significant improvement.

Placed twice over hurdles last autumn when with Lucinda Russell (2m/2m1f, good); weakened quickly when tailed off behind Pergamon when back from a break on stable debut at Kelso last month (2m, good, 7-2); better than he showed there; interesting.

Well beaten in his sole bumper (soft) but much better to take minor honours over hurdles at Perth (2m, good) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in the autumn; has since left Lucinda Russell (same owner); admittedly beaten 17l by the Coltherd-trained favourite last time but this brother to high-class chaser Funambule Sivola should be in the mix if returning on song.

Ended last season in very poor form for Nigel Twiston-Davies but seemed to have turned a corner when close third of four (just behind Jakana) at Hexham (2m4f, good) for new stable three weeks ago, where a last-flight error might have cost him the race; has a fighting chance here; tongue-tie added.

Ended 2024 with two good efforts on slow ground (2m4f/2m) but looked out of sorts when pulled up on both outings this year; may not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here, and others have much less to prove.
