13/2
Useful hurdler/chaser who won the Welsh Champion Hurdle (Handicap) at Ffos Las in October. Out of depth in the Arkle last month and didn't fare much better returned to timber 11 days ago. Has been kept very busy and others are more persuasive.

Winner of a 4-runner handicap chase at Newcastle on second start following a lengthy lay off in December. Couple of heavy defeats after but right back to best fitted with a visor returned to hurdling when successful back at that venue 3 weeks ago.

6/1
Successful 3 times switched to fences last summer and prominent in the market on last month's return to action at Warwick, though ultimately shaped as though in need of the run. Expected to step up plenty on that.

9/2
Fair bumper/hurdles winner who has taken off since switched to chasing, scoring in handicaps at Kempton and Wincanton. Good third in listed mares chase at Huntingdon before finding Grade 2 company too much at Kempton. Revised mark back in a handicap looks perfectly fair.

11/1
Dual-hurdles winner but already better over fences, supplementing her Fakenham success in another small-field contest at Uttoxeter in January. Could be tough to peg back around here if she gets into her rhythm.

7/1
Triple-hurdle winner who has made a sound-enough start over fences, winning a match at Leicester in February. Hard to get excited by that form but she has gone up just 1 lb for that success. Has had a breathing operation.

10/3
Got her act together in the jumping department of late and arrives in pursuit of a hat-trick following wins at Ludlow. Up 4 lb in a better race but she's clearly going the right way.

7/1
Fine record fresh and won 5-runner mares' handicap hurdle (21f) at Wincanton on return in November. Fair start over fences behind Panic Attack at Huntingdon 2 weeks later but unable to build on that twice since.

Yet to win a race over fences and hard to see her figuring from 14 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

La Renommee (10/3), Tweed Skirt (9/2), La Domaniale (6/1), Effernock Fizz (13/2), Voice Of Calm (7/1), Wynn House (7/1), Fairfield Ferrata (11/1), Miah Grace (12/1), Walk In Clover (16/1)

Verdict

An interesting final of the series and if there's a runner with the potential to be better than their mark it's LA DOMANIALE, who should come on plenty for last month's return at Warwick. Fairfield Ferrata and Tweed Skirt are feared most.
