Adapted well to hurdles and, as a front-runner, should be suited by the nature of this course even though her best previous form has been registered on flatter course. Big chance if not affected by a soft fall last time.
Fair form in point-to-points and has shown ability over hurdles in two starts up to now. Possible she'll do better when sent over a longer trip though.
Average handicapper on the Flat and didn't show much in her only start in a point-to-point. Plenty to prove and others make more appeal this time.
Developed into a useful stayer on the Flat for Michael Dodds and likely to have a sharper turn of foot than most. Has to be of interest in this company and sure to be popular even though she lacks hurdling experience.
Has jumps winners in her pedigree but needs to improve a good deal on the face value of two previous outings in bumpers. Might need more time.
Three-time winner on the Flat in France but the value of the form is difficult to equate at present. Yard going well, so still worth a betting check bit likely the filly will benefit greatly from the run.
Struggled to make any sort of impact on debut in a bumper at Newcastle last month and very difficult to lay out much of a case for her at this stage. Big improvement required on hurdling debut.
Needs to step up considerably on the form shown in two bumpers up to press; plenty to prove now obstacles present a further barrier.
Showed ability in one start in a point-to-point but has yet to capture the imagination in three starts under rules. Left a lot to be desired on hurdling debut last time and may have to settle for a minor role again here.
Not finished in front of many rivals in any of her starts up to now and best watched on debut for a new yard.
Well behind Splash The Cash in a bumper at Carlisle in October and faces a stiff test to just reverse that form on the evidence available. others readily preferred.

Another Theatre (5/4), Graceland (9/4), Foxtrot Juliet (3/1), Lady Kyria (18/1), Splash The Cash (25/1), Watching Over (28/1), Jessica Rabbit (50/1), Dream On Dreamer (80/1), Taras Day (100/1), Ridgeway Pearl (100/1), Soeur De Strop (250/1), Piccalilli Pie (250/1)
An ordinary mares' only event where only a handful make any real appeal; with GRACELAND, a formerly useful stayer on the Flat making a touch more appeal than Foxtrot Juliet, who is a likely candidate to cut out the running but needs to keep her mind on the task in hand this time. Lady Kyria showed ability on the Flat in France and represents an in-form yard; she is also a filly worth noting in the betting.
