Chatty Chich
Bred for much better; second of six on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last time was easily her best effort since a bumper on debut; looked all about stamina and this extra distance will help; can still improve.

Headscarf Lil
4-23 over hurdles, with all her wins on good ground over shorter; the latest (last May) was her only win since 2021 but she was short-headed at Perth (3m on soft) last September and not disgraced two months ago when back from a 12-week break; capable of being thereabouts.

Kentford Mallard
October's Hereford win was over 3m1f (good to firm) and she ran creditably when second over 2m4f at Wincanton 18 days ago following her winter break; exposed 11yo but she should be seriously involved.

Malina Jamila
Both of her wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) were at this track and they have been her only two visits, the latter two years ago; fair fourth with first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m) in December but back in the doldrums since; visor takes over and she returns to Huntingdon, so there are potential positives.

Valentine Getaway
Eight-race maiden with minor honours in her last four handicaps, including when second over the extended 3m1f at Hereford; wore cheekpieces on latest start; place chance again.

Bluebella
Tongue tied first time when winning by 6l at Worcester (2m, good) last May; better form in defeat since but it was not one of her peak efforts when upped from 2m4f to 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time.

Chief Lady
Won an Irish point last May; first attempt, however, has seemingly been the best of her four efforts under rules and there was a heavy defeat at Plumpton (2m4f; 50-1) last time on handicap debut; bred to stay 3m.

Quiet Thunder
Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice hurdle in June 2022; fit from Flat and continues down the weights as a hurdler but others are more persuasive.

Baby Sham
Her two hurdle wins came on good ground last May/June, latterly over 3m2f at Fontwell; pretty remote in her two latest starts, however.

Catlin
0-10 over hurdles; all three chase wins over 2m7f at Newcastle, most recently in November 2022; lightly raced since and out of form last term but a stirrup leather broke when she unseated at the first on latest outing, when 8-1 and first-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces.
