Came second off basement Flat mark on latest outing in January and is well handicapped for this return to hurdling but she's not as good as she was and has become inconsistent; others appeal more.

J: Ian Power

Went close on handicap debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f) in March before solid third at Taunton (3m, also good) one month later; drops sharply back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted and he remains unexposed on this introduction to fences.

J: Ian Power

Brought along steadily before taking a big step forward on his handicap debut when a clear second of seven at Sedgefield (2m4f) last month; up 5lb but remains low mileage and has his first go over this trip.

J: Nick Slatter

Low-grade AW winner; did not achieve huge amount when well-held second of seven behind short-odds favourite at Hereford (2m, good) a fortnight ago, his second hurdle run, but might collect another minor prize here.

Has shown most of his Flat form on AW, winning once; never landed a blow over C&D switched to hurdles last time but this looks a weaker race.

J: Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard.

J: Jack Dace

T: David Pipe

Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting.

Won in France in 2023; struggled in three starts for Nicky Henderson and limited since joining this trainer; attracted market support but weakened from the second-last when third of five at Huntingdon (2m4f) 17 days ago; dropping back in trip is a sensible move.
