Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who made all in a Chepstow mares' novice hurdle last Sunday (2m4f, good), jumping notably well; no time wasted at all in switching to fences (some chase winners in her dual-purpose pedigree), and easy to envisage her being played at least as assertively again.

Comfortable winner of a Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) last month but was beaten fair and square by about 10l in a 3m handicap at Perth since and has only dropped 1lb.

Looked in very good nick when readily winning Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) for his owner-trainer last month but faces quite daunting assignment off career-high mark on this return to a handicap; now in the care of Tristan Davidson.

Hurdle winner for Dan Skelton; placed on his last two runs in hunter chases, last time finishing third at Hexham (3m, good) where Whatdeawant was 18l in front of her in second; each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Effectiveness around sharp tracks reaffirmed by last year's Lingfield and Musselburgh hurdles wins, where she also proved she can make all to win but needn't; has chase winners in pedigree but may not be the answer on this first run since March, considering she's never excelled when fresh.

Looked back in good nick when scoring over C&D (good) in March but ran poorly and was pulled up at Uttoxeter last month (trainer blamed the good to soft ground); has become hard to predict.

Got back in the groove after three months off when landing a gamble at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; back up 4lb in the weights but she still looks feasibly treated and has form figures of 12431 under Tom Broughton; key player.

A dual 2m hurdles winner last season but she failed to take to chasing early this term before beating only one back in this sphere in 2m4f Wincanton handicap in December; she has plenty to prove after a break.

Form & Verdict
Career-low mark lowered further by rider's 7lb claim when just holding on in a Uttoxeter chase (2m, good), despite hanging; latest Warwick hurdles outing safest forgotten (winner gifted easy lead), and may learn more here as to whether today's sort of mark is beyond her over fences.

Has a fondness for Fakenham and she put up a good show when winning her second chase on that track (2m5f, good to soft) in January from out of the weights; has continued in form there since but others might be stronger finishers away from that track.

Won for the second time here, but the first over this distance, in January at 40-1; unlucky not to finish closer when second of three finishers back over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and must be on the shortlist.

Made it 2-3 here when coming from off the pace on good to soft a month ago and that was from 6lb out of the weights; that was a return to form from nowhere but it was her first go over this far under rules; 4lb higher.
