Lion Leintwardine Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle

Holding her form well last season until proving a let down when well backed at Southwell last month, weakening before 2 out before falling heavily there. Type to bounce back.

Modest maiden on the Flat and over hurdles but ran in first-time headgear in this sphere when third here (21f) 18 days ago, shaping as if she'll be suited by even further.

Modest maiden who bounced back to form when third at Exeter last month, the drier ground surely a factor (2 best efforts in this sphere have now come on good going). However, reportedly bled at Huntingdon the time before and stamina still to prove.

Remains a maiden and has failed to improve for the switch to handicaps. However, was well supported when a good third at Southwell last month and can go well again off an unchanged mark.

Long-standing maiden but he arrives in good form (forced a strong gallop last time) and off a workable mark. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip and he's a player.

Runner-up in Irish point/close third on bumper debut but has shown little since, including when well backed at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago. He's in top hands but that's about all he's got going for him so far.

Finished mid-field on sole start in bumpers but yet to trouble the judge in this sphere. However, showed a bit more under this rider at Taunton last month and has been shaping as if this longer trip will suit, so not totally dismissed from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Little form.
