Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in a handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last Monday; did it easily and has the same mark for today's chase debut (due to be 7lb higher in future); leading claims if transferring that latest form to fences.

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.

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.

Encouraging start to chasing career, keeping on behind a subsequent winner over C&D before finishing closer still at Cartmel latest (2m1f, good); this would be no stronger than either race, and mark still unchanged.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.
