Form & Verdict
11-race maiden who was disappointing at Hereford ten days ago, but she finished runner-up in Exeter handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on her stable debut last month; that form puts her in the picture and first-time cheekpieces could give her a lift.

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Joe Tizzard

Progressive mare who has form figures of 24121 since joining Joe Tizzard and both of those wins have been at Newton Abbot; 5lb higher than for her success over C&D (good) two weeks ago but she still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve; key player.

In this headgear combination for the first time when winning by a length over 2m1f here last month (good) and then beat all bar a Skelton-trained favourite off this 3lb higher mark; looks sure to go well.

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Joe Tizzard

Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a C&D handicap (good; cheekpieces added) last month; there wasn't much separating the first four but a 3lb rise looks fair and her confidence should be boosted after that success; big player again in her bid to make it 2-4 for Joe Tizzard.

Form & Verdict
Soft-ground point winner who won a maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) for Fergal O'Brien last January; disappointing in three chase runs for Dan Skelton this winter but she still has low mileage and is on a dangerous mark back over hurdles; needs checking in market for new yard.

Another underwhelming run over fences last time but was only a length behind an improver over hurdles at Newton Abbot two runs back (2m1f, good) and that effort brings her into this.

Regressed in three chase attempts during a brief spell with Dan Skelton; ran encouragingly at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 1l second) last time on stable debut and switch back to hurdles; fighting chance off same mark, provided she's as effective returned to fences.

Beaten just 2l when fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) earlier in the month but Friday's heavy defeat on similar ground at Exeter (extended 2m2f) takes some explaining; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and her yard might have better prospects with Best Night.
