Won a 3m point (heavy) and two bumpers (good to soft/good) before losing unbeaten record in Grade 2 at Aintree (ninth of 20); found plenty to win on last month's hurdle and seasonal debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft) and that form has been franked by the placed horses; key player now up in trip.
AW bumper winner (also showed promise on good to soft in that sphere) who kept on for second on last month's hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good); could improve now up in trip but needs a sizeable step forward today.
All four starts on good to soft ground with two wins, a bumper at Uttoxeter and 2m6f maiden hurdle at Stratford; again ran well when 4l second to Supreme Malinas at Exeter (2m2f) last month when conceding 7lb to the winner; they re-oppose off level weights today; she tends to jump to the right and is going back left-handed today, but she's one to consider nevertheless.
Soft-ground Flat winner whose five hurdle starts were all at Cartmel in May-August, with two wins (2m1f, good to soft/good; including last time); there's a suspicion her limitations will be exposed now up in grade.
Bumper winner who won on her hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) last month and followed up under a penalty at Kelso (2m5f, soft) a fortnight ago; this is a tougher test of her credentials but she's a nice prospect and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.
Impressive on debut in bumper at Newbury (2m, soft) in December 2023; unplaced in Listed/Grade 2 bumpers on next two starts but returned from long absence to win on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; others have stronger form but she could have more to offer; a tongue-tie goes on.
3m point runner-up (soft to heavy) who ran well in defeat in bumpers last season, including a Listed second (2m, soft); 10l third to La Zoubida on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) and could build on that run, having had wind surgery since, but others have more compelling claims.
Point (3m, heavy) and Listed bumper (2m, soft) winner who scored on her hurdle debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; the 4l runner-up A Path To Ronda was carrying a 7lb penalty and they're off level weights today, but she's a useful prospect for her top yard and is high on the list.
Comfortably made all on hurdle debut at Roscommon (2m4f, good to yielding) in September and did likewise under a penalty against males at Kelso (2m6f, good to soft, soft in places) last month; likely to be on softer ground today but could have a big part to play if handling conditions.
