Well held in all six of her starts so far, including when 4lb higher on her handicap debut at Warwick when last seen in January. Much more needed.
Soft ground Flat winner over 1m2f, but is 1-25 in that code and hurdles form has gone backwards since showing minor promise on his debut in this sphere in 2017. Hard to make a serious case for him at present.
Dual bumper winner in the summer of 2017, and added a novices' handicap hurdle (2m2½f, good) at Stratford to his CV last August, when 5lb lower. Lost his way after that, however, so has plenty to prove on his first run since December.
Went close on the AW a couple of times (7f/1m½f) when with David Simcock last year. Well beaten in all three starts in juvenile hurdles last season since joining this trainer. Initial mark looks stiff based on that, but check the market for clues.
1m2f Flat winner on fast ground when with Hughie Morrison, and added a mares' maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m1f, good) in May 2019 for this trainer. Well held in handicaps since, but is now on a more realistic mark and could go well.
Broke her duck on the Flat at the eighth attempt in a 1m6f Chelmsford (AW) handicap last month and went close back there last time. No fitness or stamina concerns then, and reverts to hurdles dropped 5lb. Interesting.
1m2f AW Flat win in 2018 when with Charlie Hills remains his only career success. Made the frame in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (2m, good) last September, when on today's mark. Entitled to respect on that basis after a recent run on the Flat.
Dual hurdles winner at around 2m last October, both on soft and is a confirmed mudlark. 5lb higher than his most recent success and will have to improve on his last two starts of last season if he is to have any chance.
Moderate form in a point, a bumper and three hurdles so far, with wind surgery during that period. In good hands and on a very workable mark, but still hard to make a case for her based purely on racecourse form.
Has raced only on heavy ground so far, being well beaten in all four starts last winter from 2m1f-2m7f. Can perhaps show more now that she goes handicapping, but she is another for whom it is hard to make a case based on public form.

Jetstream (5/2), Lilypad (11/4), Galardo (3/1), Memphis Bell (9/2), Percy Thrower (10/1), Scottsdale (10/1), Saintbury Lady (12/1), Bossiney Bay (14/1), Hypnos (25/1), D'waterside (25/1), Secret Beri (33/1), Golconda Prince (100/1)
Another weak contest where Galardo might be capable of making his presence felt on his debut for Phil Kirby, while Hypnos and Bossiney Bay are others who might make an impact. However, LILYPAD looks at least as interesting as anything in the field. She is fit from the Flat and may now be able to capitalise on her sliding hurdles mark. Jetstream is not ruled out.
