Beaten the best part of 20L in a bumper here this month, second start in that sphere. Should be capable of better over timber in time for good yard.
110-rated at best on the Flat, with seven wins from 31 outings. Has shown some ability remains in two recent starts after missing close to three years. First start over timber and an intriguing runner.
Patchy form in maiden/novice company but had the hallmarks of one who may be seen to better effect in handicaps and duly finished a respectable third on handicap debut over C&D last month. Should build on that effort.
Unconvincing efforts in trio of bumpers, has work to do now going hurdling and seems unlikely to hit the back of the net first time up in this sphere.
Victorious in a maiden handicap at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) last August and finished fair fourth on C&D hurdles debut 22 days ago. May well build on that effort.
Fair winner over 1m2f on the Flat in France, but has plenty work to do based on four efforts over hurdles so far.
Won a point-to-point in May at 15th time of asking but well beaten for new yard in three starts since under rules and looks to face a very stiff task on evidence to date.
Bumper form was very poor and similar tale on hurdles bow over C&D nine days ago, ensuring she's readily overlooked for this contest.

The Twisler (2/7), American History (9/2), Tenor (5/1), Blue Merlin (9/1), By Rail (20/1), Sehayli (50/1), Troy Dee Knee (66/1), Fearnie Lou (66/1), Aine's Choice (100/1)
THE TWISLER was third on his handicap bow over sticks last time out over his C&D and the form of that race looks solid enough. On that basis, he looks to be holding the strongest claims in this field and should be capable of opening his account. The most interesting alternative is perhaps TENOR, once a smart operator on the Flat. He was off for nearly three years but has shown in two starts that ability still lurks and he could go well if taking to this discipline. American History made a decent start over timber here last time and has a chance to build on that, while Blue Merlin could improve now jumping and go well at a price.
