Winless since 2021 and fit from a couple of good placed efforts on the AW, she could manage only mid-field at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Prone to the odd mistake but this is a slight drop in grade, at least.

Winless since landing a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July 2020 but there have been positives to glean from some of last season's efforts. Left Gavin Cromwell since last seen in March.

Winning pointer. Fair form in a bumper and maiden hurdle in Ireland last spring. Below that level in a Doncaster novice hurdle for new yard in March and too free on handicap debut a fortnight ago. No surprise a hood goes on.

Won 2 of first 3 starts for this yard, latterly at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January 2022. Unable to continue the good work later in the year and now has questions to answer reverting to hurdles minus usual hood.

Bagged second victory over hurdles in a Uttoxeter seller during summer 2021 and similar form when runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts in handicaps last summer. Hasn't returned in top form this spring but mark has eased.

Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in 2 starts for Billy Aprahamian. Respectable third starting out for this yard at Hereford last month but never really looked like justifying support at Ludlow. Cheekpieces now on.

On the up since sent handicapping, off the mark at Ayr in March and form of subsequent second to Blue Bikini at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) was boosted when the winner went in again next time. 23.3f may have just tested his stamina at Hexham so he remains of firm interest.

Returned from a long absence an improved model, winning handicaps at Worcester (20f) and Plumpton (20.5f) during middle of last year. 4 lb higher now and has another absence to overcome, but she should make a bold bid for the hat-trick provided all's well.

Fairly useful handicapper at best on the Flat but little form in this sphere, albeit she races off her correct mark this time.

Took a big step forward when second at Wincanton (21.4f) in March, unlucky to bump into a well-punted one. Heavy defeat over 3m here last time needs casting aside. Down in trip.
