Form & Verdict
Sole win over hurdles came in a mares' novice at Lingfield (2m, soft) a year ago and she's still seeking her first handicap success, though she has posted some solid placed efforts, latest when a good second at Windsor (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day; return to heavy ground will pose no problem and she's sure to be involved.

Untested at this trip under rules but there have been hints that she'll stay this far; in good form against fellow mares this winter prior to tailing off in the Imperial Cup at Sandown last month; takes on her own sex today and it will be no surprise to see a bold showing.

Having shown some good form in defeat in handicaps (on various ground) she made the breakthrough in this sphere in a small-field, mares-only race at Exeter (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago; had 5l to spare but she'll need to be better than ever to follow up in this much more competitive contest.

8 yo Mare

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions.

2-8 over hurdles; signed off in good form in the spring, making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good), but is 5lb higher now and may not enjoy such a favourable tactical scenario this time.
