Showed promise when placed a couple of times last year for Patrick Neville but pulled up in a couple of handicaps for Dylan Cunha and last of ten to complete on stable debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month after six-month break; drops back in trip and tongue-tie is back on along with first-time cheekpieces; major revival required.

Has shown just modest form so far; sports first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut and improvement required.

Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat.

Burgeon (GB)

Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact.

Blue Siam (IRE)

Modest Flat maiden and only minor promise in her three races over hurdles; she still has time on her side, though, and she swaps a hood for cheekpieces on her handicap debut.

Has shown only poor form in four runs over hurdles, including when fifth of six finishers at Taunton (2m, good) last month on her handicap debut.

Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood.

Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time.
