18/1
Maiden hurdler who was off 16 months prior to this season. Sent chasing on fifth start of the campaign, bettered hurdles form at the first attempt when winning Fakenham handicap (21.2f, good to soft) in November, but hasn't build on that effort in 2 subsequent outings.

17/2
Point winner who showed fair form when placed in 5 of her 6 races over hurdles. Matched that level when finishing third in handicaps on first 2 starts in chases and excuses when well held at Fakenham latest outing (stumbled after the twelfth). Could bounce back.

7/2
Won 3 handicap hurdles (at up to 25.3f) last season and good third at Haydock on second start this term. Switched to fences, seemed unsuited by drop back in trip when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, so she merits consideration.

Winner over hurdles last summer and, back in cheekpieces, made it third time lucky over fences when scoring at Market Rasen (23.9f) on Boxing Day. Progressed again when second to an improver at the same C&D (good to soft) 6 days ago and she's a major player.

11/2
Irish point winner and took another step forward in handicap chases when opening Rules account at Leicester (22.7f, good to firm) in November. Has continued in good heart when runner-up both starts since and she's respected tried in blinkers

4/1
Point winner who has yet to get her head in front under Rules. However, she has got back on track returned to chasing at this course on her last 2 starts, suited by the increase in trip when runner-up over C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago. Could be in the mix.

12/1
Remains a maiden, though runner-up 4 times over hurdles last season. Found the test inadequate when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (19.2f, good) on chase debut 19 days ago, but she's running from 7 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Asa (9/4), It's Maisy (7/2), Baby Chou (4/1), Northern Reel (11/2), Melusine De Pail (17/2), You Say Its Over (12/1), Micronormous (18/1)

Verdict

ASA has shown improved form with cheekpieces reapplied on her last 2 starts, opening her chase account at Market Rasen on Boxing Day before pulling clear with a chasing debutant at the same course last time, so she is is taken to resume winning ways. Northern Reel also arrives in good form and isn't taken lightly, while It's Maisy could take a step forward.
