Ran no race at Plumpton last month and needs to put that performance behind her but she bumped into a revitalised opponent when second there (2m4f, good to soft; third has won since) two starts ago and has claims if first-time cheekpieces enable her to replicate that form.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well to resume winning ways at Taunton (2m3f, good; 5-1) last week; competes from the same mark (no penalty) here, so must enter calculations even if he's shown the bulk of his best form at that West country venue; on the premises if in the same form.

Has won six races on the Flat at up to 1m6f and this year is going particularly well, with two hurdle wins and now two over about 1m4f on Flat (on good ground at Salisbury and Chester); raised 4lb to career-high mark but should be fine back on good to firm and he's never been better.

Form & Verdict
Veteran; no win since December 2024 when beating Ghasham by 1.5l at Huntingdon (2m4f); much lower in the weights now but it is difficult to draw inspiration from either of his last two efforts; far better to focus elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Sole hurdles win was for Ian Williams at Market Rasen (2m4f) three years ago; went close on first start for this trainer at Worcester (2m4f) last September; trip possibly short enough at Market Rasen and Sedgefield post wind surgery; easing mark and claimer ridden.
