Form & Verdict
Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here.

J: Jack Andrews

T: T Ellis

Free-going front-runner; signed off for Paul Nicholls with wide-margin success in modest selling hurdle last month and remains on a workable handicap mark but capitulated pretty tamely when well-held third of four in Plumpton chase (2m1f, good) for new stable three weeks ago; comes with risk.

5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable.

Form & Verdict
Winless after 26 hurdle starts and although he often runs respectably at the right level, he has no realistic chance against rivals who mostly would be giving him plenty of weight in a handicap.

Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked.
