7/2
Three-time handicap chase winner last season and back to best when making all at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in November. By no means disgraced in Class 2 company at Windsor last time and, now 2 lb lower and back down in trip/class, she has to be taken seriously.

9/4
Likeable sort who ran better than on her sole previous start over fences in Britain when second of 6 over this C&D on penultimate start. Disappointing back hurdling at Ludlow last time, though, and she's opposable here.

3/1
Filled the runner-up spot 5 times over fences before deservedly getting off the mark over C&D in November, proving 1½ lengths too good for the re-opposing Ip Up. Second in a 2½m handicap back here on New Year's Eve and she's a strong candidate off 1 lb lower now returned to this trip.

9/4
Sole career success was gained over hurdles in France back in 2021 and record in this sphere stands at 0-17. On the upside, she hasn't been with current yard long and put in a good shift returned to fences when runner-up at Taunton (2m, soft) recently. Likely to give another good account.

Forecasts

It's Easy (9/4), Ip Up (9/4), Lime Drop (3/1), Sacre Coeur (7/2)

Verdict

IT'S EASY produced a solid first effort over fences for present connections when runner-up at Taunton earlier this month and is taken to finally open her account in this sphere. She may have most to fear from Sacre Coeur, who could benefit from an uncontested lead and will take some pegging back if that proves to be the case, despite conceding plenty of weight all round. The return to this trip looks a good move for Lime Drop and she is also accorded respect.
