Winner when last seen over hurdles, that being at Musselburgh in February, and has had a recent run on the Flat to blow the cobwebs away. Consistent, and this very much looks her trip, so with top jockey booked, has clear chances.

Looking on a very good mark now if you go back far enough, but it wasn't great over fences last year, and now reverts to hurdles. Still fairly early days and may yet turn things around, so watch the market for a clue.

Knows how to win when the opportunity arises, and despite the advancing years, remains in good form. Often travels well in his races and the quicker they go early the better. Others probably better handicapped but he'll give it a go.

Unexposed after just the four hurdles starts and begins life in handicaps from a low mark for top yard, but hurdling technique last year was far from fluent, and he'll need to cut the errors out to hold best chance.

Looked modest for most of last season and finished off with a last of four in a Fontwell seller, which hardly augurs well for his chance here. Yard going better after a slow start is the only real positive.

Well held in four starts at huge prices to date, showing little, although it was a bit better when sixth (of nine) on final start at Kelso. Handicaps now offer him a better chance of success and he needs a glance in the market.

No win in nine starts but did win a point-to-point back in 2018, and has shown ability at this trip in a couple of his hurdles starts. Not seen since February so may need the run, but possible he has more to offer.

Very little form to show for her 12 starts to date and was a well-beaten last of 14 when seen out at Kelso; has no realistic chance of success here.

Only had the four starts but in truth has shown very little, and now cheekpieces are tried. Reverts to hurdles after giving fences a go but hard to see where the necessary improvement is coming from.

Forecasts

No Regrets (13/8), Pammi (7/2), Chosen Flame (5/1), Titus Bolt (11/2), Harbour Force (7/1), King's Wharf (8/1), Folks Like Us (10/1), Last King Of Wales (12/1), Effet Special (16/1), Mill Island (20/1), Saltmarket (28/1), Go Complain (100/1)

Verdict

PAMMI has top weight but this is not a strong event by any means and comes here fit after a recent run on the Flat. With conditions ideal, she can score again. Effet Special has a few disappointing efforts to put behind him but the suspicion is that there's better to come, and he's not discounted. It looks wide open for the places, with King's Wharf, Chosen Flame and Folks Like Us all having some positives.
