2/5
Point/hurdles winner who scored twice over the larger obstacles last season and made the most of a good opportunity when landing a listed event at Market Rasen on reappearance. Sets the standard and should be tough to beat.

4/1
Three-time winner during a consistent 2022/23 campaign, signing off with success in a listed chase at Perth. Lacklustre display at Aintree on return 11 days ago but no surprise if she's sharper for it.

25/1
Put in a good round of jumping when scoring at Carlisle (21f, good to soft) in February but hasn't really fired since. Looks firmly up against it.

7/1
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who can boast a good strike rate and wasn't disgraced in a handicap at Cheltennham last time. Not discounted.

66/1
Promising individual who found improvement when making a winning chase debut in 3-runner handicap at Warwick (20f, soft) in November but has disappointed since. Out of her depth at this level.

Forecasts

Galia Des Liteaux (2/5), Pink Legend (4/1), Tweed Skirt (9/2), Rose Of Arcadia (7/1), Lilith (25/1), Swincombe Fleat (66/1)

Verdict

GALIA DES LITEAUX seemed to have returned in top form when landing a 5-runner listed contest at Market Rasen on reappearance and, in a race where her rivals have the odd question to answer, she's a solid choice. Pink Legend is an obvious danger if back on her game and Tweed Skirt is still not fully exposed as a chaser.
