Dual C&D winner (good/good to soft) towards end of last season and very respectable third in Grade 2 series final at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) on latest outing, despite some sketchy jumping in the early stages; has fitness to prove after six-month break but the return to this track is a big plus.

12st 2lb |
3-6 over fences, with all three wins gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft); did it pretty stylishly there 18 days ago, but subsequent 9lb rise asks quite a lot of her and she's away from her favourite track today. |

Gamely made all to win valuable series final over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and ran well in defeat at Aintree the following month; makes chasing debut after 160-day absence but could take some catching if she gets into a good jumping rhythm.

22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
There is a question mark regarding the testing ground but she won two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft/good) earlier this year and was a promising second on last month's chase debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft); open to improvement and is not ruled out. |

Bang-in-form front-runner who probably posted a career-best effort when holding on gamely in valuable series final at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month; 4lb rise demands even more from her here. |

Made all for easy maiden hurdle win at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) for Fergal O'Brien in March; slightly disappointing on next outing and changed stable during subsequent six-month absence but her convincing Irish point win in spring 2022 bodes well for her chasing prospects.

22nd Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 7y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner (3m, good to yielding); has taken well to hurdling, building on debut when easily making all at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) at the end of March; Jack Hogan's 5lb claim helps offset a penalty and she's open to plenty more improvement; could be the answer. |

11st 6lb |
Irish mares' maiden point winner (3m, good to yielding) who improved for sole bumper run when up in trip and runner-up at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; leading claims if the forecast softer ground isn't an issue. |

Last of four in tactical race on handicap debut at Newbury (2m3f, good) in March but caught the eye on hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January, keeping on from the rear to take second in 16-runner novice; moves up in trip today and probably still has potential. |

Finished sixth in last season's Champion Bumper; the races she's won over hurdles were straightforward tasks (both at odds-on) and she couldn't give Luccia anything to think about at Newbury earlier in the season; a very unlikely winner of this; tries cheekpieces. |

Won maiden at Limerick (3m, soft) in March but soundly beaten on handicap debut, before sold out of Paul Nolan's for £20,000; blinkers (worn on last four starts in Ireland) were removed for stable/chase debut at Ludlow last month and the jumping did not go well, albeit getting closer before her fall four out; back hurdling but others look more solid. |
