Comment: Placed in low-grade AW handicap in March (1m4f; RPR 60) and appeared to take pretty well to hurdling when second of three behind easy 1-25 winner at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month; however, it's very tricky to weigh up what she achieved on that hurdling debut.

Comment: 0-8 over hurdles and not very reliable but looked suited by the return to 3m when keeping-on second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in December and will be suited by the quicker ground here; contender if ready to roll after five-month break.

Comment: Fair Flat racer who started off in handicap hurdles with two respectable runs on good ground towards end of last season (2m4f/2m3f); needs to find something extra to prevail from 2lb out of the weights here, though, and is certainly not bred to benefit from this hike up in trip.

Comment: Ended last season in career-best form, winning twice in cheekpieces, and is now 5-11 over fences; drew nicely clear with the runner-up at Southwell (2m5f, good) on latter occasion and subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive; makes obvious appeal.
