Winner at Ayr (3m) last March and recorded a couple of good runner-up efforts at Hexham in the autumn. Ran one of her lesser races at Kelso last time but has been dropped 3 lb for it. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Respected.

Showed he can make an impact from his mark when third of 11 over C&D in December but not in anything like the same form when pulled up at Catterick since. Needs a return to this venue to spark a revival.

One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time, finishing a well-held sixth on his completed start this season. Could only consider if backed.

Three-time winner over fences who returned to form when second at Sedgefield in October. Failed to back that up when a remote fourth there the following month. Off 94 days.

4/1
Point/maiden hurdle winner. Made a solid start to his handicap chase career in the autumn but needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since. Cheekpieces are added.

17/2
Dual chase scorer around 3m in the first half of last season. Has come down in the weights but hasn't been showing enough to suggest he's likely to take advantage.

No significant impact in maiden/novice hurdles but this point winner could prove a different proposition now handicap chasing in first-time headgear. Market confidence could prove significant.

Finally off the mark under Rules at Hexham in June and followed up over 2½m here (good to soft) 5 months later. Didn't find much when only sixth here (2½m again) on New Year's Day but he's a player on those winning efforts.

Forecasts

Whosmydaddy (10/3), Frankie Faulkner (4/1), Shadows In The Sky (9/2), Dr Shirocco (13/2), Get With It (17/2), Without Conviction (17/2), Canelo (12/1), Get 'em In (18/1), Fiston Du Mou (22/1)

Verdict

If first-time cheekpieces spark a positive reaction from WITHOUT CONVICTION she looks handicapped to win again. Whosmydaddy is an unexposed and potentially very interesting opponent, particularly if backed. The shortlist is completed by Dr Shirocco, who was below par here last time but had won back to back prior to that.

  1. Without Conviction17/2
  2. Whosmydaddy10/3
  3. Dr Shirocco13/2
