Her form has been mixed on the Flat and over hurdles this year and she's hasn't been at the top of her game over hurdles of late; however, she won this last year (soft) and shouldn't be discounted.

Gained all four hurdle wins over C&D; not at best this year and never really got competitive when tried over 2m4f here last month but wears a first-time tongue-tie and can't be ruled out off current mark.

Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend.

Form & Verdict
Joined George Bewley after winning Cartmel selling handicap (2m1f, good to soft) for Iain Jardine in May and followed up with 11l win on stable debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month; 11lb higher here but needs to be taken very seriously in current nick.

J: Miss Thomasina Eyston

Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish mare who showed career-best form when second in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March, having made most; unlucky to be brought down when last in action; today's drop back in trip may not be ideal and, on balance, others appeal more.

Better over fences than hurdles, notching back-to-back Musselburgh chase wins (2m4f) last November/December; tough task in Carlisle Class 2 (beaten 38l) when last seen 146 days ago; this should bring her on with a return to fences (rated 5lb higher) likely.

Form & Verdict
Easily won modest Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in March, her ninth start over hurdles, and also ran well when very close third in Cartmel novice (2m1f, good to soft) in May; ought to be very competitive again on this handicap return.

Generally disappointing since her two 3m course wins at around this time last year; hinted at possible return to form before last-flight fall here (3m) in July but needs to build on that performance today and the drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Form & Verdict
No threat to useful Irish raider when second in Kelso Class 2 (2m, good) in May but that was still a creditable effort from out of the weights; only 2lb higher than winning this event readily in 2024; might be the answer.
