Won handicap at Haydock in December on return from 22 months off and probably remains in form despite never threatening when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Windsor (9/2) 35 days ago, ridden from further back. Trip on the sharp side but respected.

Has run well on both starts since leaving Colin Bowe's yard, third of 13 in maiden hurdle at Taunton (22/1) 19 days ago, staying on. Makes handicap debut and should be suited by this mares' event.

Showed promise in novice hurdles earlier this season, including when third at this course. Won a 14-runner maiden hurdle at Wetherby (11/10 fav) 41 days ago, confirming that promise and still sprinting at the line. More to come again now handicapping.

Left Gordon Elliott/off nearly 3 years before showing nothing when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (80/1) 36 days ago, broke blood vessel/suffered irregular heartbeat. Plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Scavengers Reign (6/4), Pure Seduction (3/1), October Hill (4/1), Lets Go To Vegas (6/1), I Am The Moon (7/1), Rock On Cassie (50/1)

Verdict

SCAVENGERS REIGN confirmed the promise of her earlier novice hurdle efforts when winning a 14-runner maiden at Wetherby 41 days ago, still sprinting at the line, and looks the one to beat on her handicap debut. The danger could be Lets Go To Vegas, who probably remains in form despite her Windsor fourth and is respected for all this trip may be on the sharp side.
