Form & Verdict
2-2 here over fences since returning from a break, latest when staying on best five days ago, taking her tally in that sphere to four, all at about this trip; yet to win in 20 attempts over hurdles, which does temper enthusiasm, and this is a quick turnaround, but she's thriving at present and hard to rule out.

Has thrived since returning to action this summer, landing two wins over fences before registering her first hurdles win, over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her winning again.

Largely consistent mare who justified support back from an absence when landing a third chase win last month, her second over C&D; up 5lb but Alix Balfe claims 7lb and she'll likely give her running and be thereabouts.

0-18 over hurdles and not reliable but has twice gone close at Newton Abbot this summer, latterly when upped to 3m2f a fortnight ago; won't be far away if able to transfer that form to chasing at the first attempt; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Failed to complete in three of his four Irish points; showed some ability on hurdling debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but he's had just two since and has been tailed off in both of them; now goes handicapping but this 9yo has a lot to prove.

She recorded a fair effort when third on her handicap debut at Stratford in May; that hasn't been built on in three subsequent outings, however, latterly when not looking to stay an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot in August; needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently when Sean Bowen was at his strongest at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in June, and his subsequent effort off 5lb higher at Market Rasen (2m7f) was solid; remains on the same workable mark and should be in the thick of things again.
