Comment: Put a below-par run at Wetherby behind him when a game winner of a 2m5f handicap hurdle here last time; today's slightly longer trip should suit and he's worth considering off this 3lb higher mark.

Comment: Won over 2m5f off 3lb lower at Doncaster in March (good); not fared as well in stronger races here and at Cheltenham since; has won off higher marks in the past, this ground ideal and fair record here; contender.

Comment: Has a fair strike-rate; last two wins have been over fences here with blinkers on good ground (2m7f/2m5f); 6lb lower over hurdles, but didn't shine on latest hurdles start at Perth last September (2m4f, good; 23l eighth of 15).

Comment: Made her belated breakthrough (26th attempt) when scoring in good style at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; well-held second off this revised mark at Fakenham but that was behind an improver and she was clear of the third; remains feasibly treated on her best form and she's in the mix.
