Form & Verdict
Steadily back to form over hurdles this term, close third at Wetherby most recently; less exposed over fences and her most recent attempt in this sphere resulted in an emphatic success (good to soft; off 10lb lower) in this race 12 months ago; highly respected.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then won over fences at Catterick (3m1f, soft); ran pretty well when 5l third of three in Sedgefield chase (3m2f, good) last time; arrives in good heart and there can be optimism that she'll be fine now back down in trip; possible player.

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then made it 3-6 over fences when winning at Catterick (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; it was a weak race last time but she's unexposed over fences and could still have more to offer in this sphere; respected.

0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D; being 9lb wrong in the handicap doesn't help.

Yet to get her head in front over fences but she posted a good second of four in 3m1f Catterick handicap last month; both her hurdling wins came here too, so she's not out of things.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on best hurdles and chase form; 0-9 in this sphere and inconsistent this term, but holds a good chance provided she responds well to new headgear (blinkers replace usual cheekpieces).

Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here.

Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive.

Form & Verdict
Attracted support at Carlisle last week, suggesting a return to form was expected, only to unseat her rider in the early stages; gained sole chase win (2m7f, good to soft) off 3lb higher and has possibilities provided she completes the course.

1-22; has dropped markedly in the weights over the past six months (form figures P5UP03); trainer seems to have his string in better form now, and she did rally from a tough position when modest third at Kelso (3m; good, 22-1) latest; no forlorn hope.

C&D winner who finished third on her final two outings last season and is well treated on that form; however, she's struggled to get competitive on her seven starts this term and has plenty to prove.
