Front-runner; 40-1 when she won this race (soft) last year by a neck under Theo Gillard; rather in-and-out record subsequently, tailed off on final start, but she is now back on that last winning mark.

Did not set the world alight in points (1-6) but he was a serious rising force last season over hurdles, winning under Charlie Price all three of his handicaps in cracking style (3m on softer than good); up another 14lb and absent since February but could still be capable of better and of huge interest if fit.

Finds his best on soft or heavy ground and last seen winning a five-runner race at Kelso (3m2f) in March in first-time visor, replacing cheekpieces; back up 3lb today with cheekpieces returning but the big worry is that he's seemingly needed the run on reappearance in last three seasons.

Not so good these days and can look a hard ride; his heavy defeat on heavy ground at Ffos Las last time can probably be forgiven but he's not won since August 2018 and others inspire more confidence.

Easily won at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) last November in his second novice hurdle; disappointing when tongue tied on both starts since and has since had wind surgery, so a revival may be possible and he's an unexposed candidate from top yard.

Inconsistent 9yo who won easily at Southwell (3m, good) in July but finished last next time and puled up on latest; has since had wind surgery; not easy to trust and probably needs a career best.

Has never won a handicap on Flat or over hurdles; had edged down the weights and her fortunes improved a bit when returned to hurdling (2m4f) off this mark on last two outings, but others have more pressing claims; tailed off on sole appearance over this sort of trip.

Lightly raced since he last showed his best form, in January 2018; still of interest judged on his form in summer 2019, as he's been dropped another 6lb during the subsequent 467-day absence; conditions fine, so fitness after the layoff is the chief question.

Won twice over hurdles on deep ground in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead three winters back; patchy form, admittedly over fences in the last 13 months (stumbled at the first on recent debut for new yard) but he needs to be at his best off this mark and has not proved his stamina beyond 2m4f.
