Decent bumper performer but hasn't progressed over hurdles; only one fair effort (when fourth at Doncaster) in the last 18 months and enough to prove, especially if the ground becomes quite testing.

12st 0lb |
Both wins on good ground at Huntingdon, a bumper and a three-finisher 2m4f maiden hurdle; minor form in handicaps so far but at least she's more realistically treated now so may yet improve. |

11st 12lb |
Showed little in early ventures in bumpers and pulled up on hurdle debut but she came clear in quite pleasing style when winning a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell in August and had a stiff task under a penalty next time; should have a future at this level now handicapping. |

Placed in both hurdle starts and pedigree suggests this longer trip will definitely suit on handicap debut; has run well in soft so plenty going for her but she does need to learn to settle if she's to progress properly.

Ahead of Come On Du Berlais when second on hurdling debut at Worcester in August and again displayed clear promise when third (just behind Come On Du Berlais) at Market Rasen (also 2m, good) in September; needs to improve to make winning handicap debut but has potential if today's longer trip suits. |

Maiden; it looked as if she was progressing well when second at Bangor in August but she was pulled up at Fontwell the following month (favourite); have to be doubts but repeat of the earlier effort puts her right in it.

Won a mares' handicap at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April by just over 7l off 7lb lower; bit disappointing since until second of 14 at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month after a summer break, so she's back in calculations. |

Verdict
Our Nel will go very close if she settles better. She may be the main threat to SAWPIT SIENNA (nap), who is following the same route as she did a year ago when taking this race. Luna Dora is the pick of the rest.[Jonathan Neesom]
