Fell both outings in points and hasn't offered much over hurdles, returning from 10 months off when pulled up in handicap at Sligo 13 days ago. Makes chase debut.

11/10

Bagged 3 chase wins for Dan Skelton last spring and took a step back in the right direction for current yard when second in 4-runner mares handicap here (3m) 18 days ago. Could be ready to return to winning ways with cheekpieces back on.

6/4

Benefited from an enterprising front-running ride when winning mares handicap hurdle at Worcester last summer. Placed on next 2 starts, but wasn't able to lead when tailed off on chase debut at Stratford in March. Looks the likely pace angle here so could bounce back.

4/1

Point winner but only poor form over hurdles. Let down by her jumping in 2m handicap at Hexham on chasing debut a year ago (found to have bled) and down the field back hurdling at Kelso 19 days ago on return from 12 months off. Tongue strap added.

Forecasts

Lady Jago (5/4), Ballyhiho (7/4), Lady's Choice (11/2), Kill The Groove (7/1), She Won't Mind (7/1)

LADY JAGO ran her best race since stable debut when runner-up at this course last time and she can build on that to go one better. She is preferred ahead of Ballyhiho, who wasn't able to adopt her favoured front-running tactics on chase debut and is worth another chance.
