10st 6lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

6l third of nine in this last year (good to soft) and she won here (2m5f, soft) last month; had just three rivals to beat last time but did it nicely from a next-time-out winner; could be in the shake-up.

11st 5lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

She hasn't been at the top of her game this season, beaten 18l into fourth on her last two starts (with jumping issues here on the first occasion); however, she's on a competitive mark judged on last spring's course form and is not written off.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame on last three appearances, most recently when close/clear second to unexposed rival at Musselburgh (3m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; nudged up only 2b for that; might be the answer.

Form & Verdict
2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on seasonal/handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in November; not seen since lesser effort later than month and not yet tested on ground slower than good to soft but may still have potential.

J: Harry Bannister

T: Henry Daly

Well served by sharp left-handed tracks and good ground, winning at Stratford (2m maiden) and Sedgefield (2m5f handicap) last year; impression given when second at Warwick latest (2m5f) was that she'll stay further and that is partly backed up by pedigree.

Maiden winner who made a successful handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) but hasn't advanced her form from there; however, soft ground perhaps not ideal the last time and this 6yo is bred to improve with her racing.
