Comment: 4-8 over hurdles; ran well in defeat off today's mark at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on latest outing ten weeks ago, and her easy Irish point win in 2022 bodes very well for her chasing prospects.

Comment: Returned from layoff with two hurdle wins in July (2m2f/2m) and was too good for progressive stablemate of Seeyouinmydreams when back over fences at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month; effectively 5lb higher from 2lb out of the weights here but still taken very seriously.

Comment: Very useful hurdler who looked as good as ever when scoring by over 5l at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April then easily beat two modest rivals in 2m4f beginners' chase there the following month; may not be ideally suited by this drop back to 2m but still commands respect.

17/2

Comment: 2-6 over hurdles last season, the wins gained over 2m6f and 2m5f; could have a future over fences and, given her tendency to race freely, this drop back in trip might work for her; however, she has fitness to prove after a six-month absence and is 8lb out of the weights.

Comment: Showed no significant promise in three 2m maiden hurdles at this track but has lowly mark for handicap debut and pedigree suggests the step up in trip will unlock improvement; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers.

Comment: Dual winner in France; 2-2 for this yard after narrow wins over C&D (good) and some late idling didn't help the cause last time when repelling Royal Rhythm; probably has the ability to deal with the 6lb rise if he can maintain his focus when it matters.

Comment: Badly out of form in early part of this season but had evidently been revitalised by the change of scenery when winning readily by 20l on stable debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good; first-time visor) last week; escapes a penalty here and ought to be very hard to beat.
