Form & Verdict
Useful in bumpers in 2023-24 season and made winning hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last autumn but both subsequent runs were disappointing, the latter her seasonal/handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to firm) last month; may still have potential but needs to get career back on track; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Lightly raced since winning hurdle debut in October 2024 but has performed well on both outings this year, latterly when close second in small-field Plumpton handicap (2m2f, good to soft) last month; considered.

La Marquise

J: Joe Anderson

T: Jamie Snowden

Dual soft-ground bumper winner who finished third in an Aintree Grade 2 in April 2024; yet to replicate that level over hurdles, but she showed marked improvement after wind surgery when a 5.75l third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 18 days ago, following a break; likely to build on that and, with Joe Anderson's useful 3lb claim, she looks set for a big run.

Two-time soft-ground bumper winner who has been disappointing on her three starts since winning on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in October 2024; however, she returns from a break having had wind surgery and her Lambourn trainer does well here; not written off.

Form & Verdict
3-8 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in February; makes seasonal debut from career-high mark and may not be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip; others appeal more.

J: Bryan Carver

T: Alex Hales

Triple hurdle winner who scored off 3lb higher at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last February; some creditable efforts since but she didn't fire in a mares' handicap at Market Rasen (tenth of 12) last month; needs to step up again after that and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
11yo who ended last season in career-best form, winning once here (2m, good to soft) and three times at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft/good); on tough mark now, though, and 208-day break may have checked her momentum.

12yo whose seven wins have been registered at either Market Rasen or Carlisle; latest was last April and she's now 9lb lower after a lean spell, but there were major signs of a revival on latest start before she fell (held in second at the final flight); considered but this may not be her track.

A three-time C&D scorer, including in this race 12 months ago; well below par this term, coming in last of 14 over C&D 20 days ago but this veteran mare still can't be totally dismissed from a plummeting mark.

White Noise

11st 7lb

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Tongue tied for her last three starts and it's made a difference; after her defeat at Warwick (2m3f, heavy) she didn't look an obvious candidate for the Grade 2 over 2m1f at the Cheltenham Festival (good), but in the van throughout she dug deepest when it mattered to spring a 40-1 surprise; there was no fluke about it and the third has since finished runner-up in a Grade 1; carries a penalty back at Listed level.

Progressive mare who won Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) by 5l just after Christmas and is now 3-3 over hurdles this season; has good chance at the weights on this return to novice company, assuming she copes well with the slower ground.

Displayed improvement at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last month, drawing clear to win readily by nearly 5l; still lightly raced after only six hurdling starts and recent 6lb rise could have been worse; needs to be taken very seriously.

Largely consistent 9yo who scored at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September, her fifth success over jumps, and arguably bettered that performance when second at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; runs this track very well and can cope if the ground turns soft; respected.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.
