6/1
Above-average bumper performer who made it first time lucky over hurdles in mares' maiden at Huntingdon (19.6f) in October. Matched that form when third under a penalty at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) 4 weeks ago and good chance there's more to come now handicapping.

9/2
Hurdles/chase winner who shaped better than distance beaten suggests when third at Aintree (20f) on Boxing Day, tying up late as positive ride told. Lurking on a handy mark and she's one to consider.

15/2
Steadily progressive prior to a below par display at Perth (16.2f) in April but did shape as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance run here (16.6f) 26 days ago, losing place approaching 3 out and not knocked about. Eased 2 lb since and goes back up in trip now.

14/1
Dual 2m scorer last season (latterly here) who showed benefit of reappearance run when third at Newcastle (16.9f) in November. Never went with same fluency when last of 3 at Southwell (15.8f) since and she needs to bounce back ahead of this return to further.

3/1
Fair bumper winner who has shown similar form over hurdles, opening her account in a Ffos Las novice last winter. Mixed bag subsequently though, below best when eighth in 14-runner handicap here (16.6f) in December. Remains unexposed at this trip at least.

4/1
Unseated on handicap debut at Ludlow in April but took strides forward to finish runner-up both starts since, finishing strongly (following wind op/6 months off) at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Mark has crept up 4 lb but she's worth considering nevertheless.

9/2
Bumper/hurdles winner who lost her way in handicaps but did at least stop the slide from reduced mark (equipped with cheekpieces) when fourth in mares' handicap here (24.4f) 25 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Forecasts

Mrs Grimley (3/1), Masked Dance (4/1), Could Be Trouble (9/2), Malina Jamila (9/2), Kay Tara Tara (6/1), Midnight Shuffle (15/2), Ravenscar (14/1)

Verdict

COULD BE TROUBLE has fallen plenty in the weights and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when third behind a less exposed pair at Aintree over Christmas, tying up late on as positive ride told. She could be worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run with the forecast quicker ground here holding no fears. Masked Dance, who finished with a flourish at Ludlow back in November, and low-mileage Kay Tara Tara are others shortlisted.

  1. Could Be Trouble9/2
  2. Masked Dance4/1
  3. Kay Tara Tara6/1
