T: Chris Grant

Bumper winner who has shaped with some promise in novice/maiden hurdles including when a fading fourth over C&D (good) in June; still early days in this sphere and now goes handicapping after a break but she needs to find improvement; hood worn last time is removed.

Bumper winner (soft) who has produced fair performances on her three hurdle starts; failed to threaten when third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month but this step up in trip may help; hood goes on; not ruled out.

C&D bumper winner (soft) last November; has run to a reasonable standard since switching to hurdles, including when third over C&D (beaten 16l; 7-1) last time; needs more to make it third-time lucky over hurdles; stablemate of Rathgearan.
