Comment: Joined Jamie Snowden after small-field Irish point win in October; no match for very easy winner when second of five on last month's hurdling debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) but has possibilities here if she comes on for the run.

Comment: Dual course winner, including at this trip (good to soft), but without a win since May 2023; inconsistent this year, a respectable run over C&D (good) in March coming in between two lesser efforts, including when favourite last time; tends to go well here but probably not the percentage call.

Comment: Promising third on his hurdles debut last July and he opened his account (also Worcester, 2m, good) seven weeks later; flopped on his handicap debut at Southwell in early October, however, when quick ground was blamed; off since but he retains a fair bit of potential for a yard that's won with four of its last six runners.

Comment: Left Tom Ellis for £1,000 in February and that looked money well spent on his stable/chase debut at Worcester (about 2m, good) last week, winning with something to spare in a newly applied tongue tie; 3lb well in under his penalty and he's got strong claims of following up.

Comment: Best form for this yard when third at Wincanton (about 2m, good to soft) in November, when first-time cheekpieces were added to his tongue tie, but hasn't been able to back up that performance, including when blinkered and outpaced over further at this track last time; continues to drop in the weights but others are preferred.

10/3

Comment: Found her form of late, building on placed efforts at Taunton and Hereford when comfortably making all, from 8lb out of the weights, in a mares' race at Stratford (2m1f, good) one week ago; despite her penalty she's effectively just 1lb higher and officially 7lb well in; another bold bid on the cards.

Comment: Multiple chase wins at 2m-2m5f; didn't get going last year but offered much more on his recent return from a 325-day break, staying on to be beaten just over 2l here (extended 2m3f, good); may sharpen up for that but needs to prove this shorter trip still suits these days.

Comment: £20,000 3yo who easily landed the odds in a point bumper at Larkhill in January; 7-1 but beaten nearly 20l when ninth on his rules debut at Newbury (also good; led before weakening) in March; that was a valuable event, however, and he still sets the standard on that form; tongue tie goes on.

Comment: Elusive Pimpernel filly; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to three winners including Sunshade (useful bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle) and Rapid Flight (useful 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase), out of unraced half-sister to bumper and smart 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Close Touch; trainer has a strong 25% strike-rate in bumpers over the last five years and she looks a likely type on this debut.

Comment: £95,000 3yo; half-brother to 2m3f chase/2m5f hurdle winner Menaggio; 8-1 and hooded for his debut when beaten over 140l at Chepstow (good to soft) in November; was subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat and he can surely do better.
