9/4
Back to winning ways at Exeter (24.3f) in February and ran right up to best when third in Mares' Chase at this course (20.6f, good to soft) last time. Must be a player here despite reservations about drop back to minimum trip.

11/4
Multiple winner in France for David Cottin and posted best effort for Tom Symonds when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Ascot (16.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Figures off handy mark and must enter calculations.

10/3
Useful hurdler in France who gained small-field victories over hurdles/fences at up to 20f for present yard in the autumn. Largely acquitted herself well in defeat since but does need to bounce back from poor recent effort at Ludlow.

15/2
Made winning return at Warwick (20f) in November and back on scoreboard when taking 4-runner handicap chase (9/4) at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) 30 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Should go well again, although would likely prefer a drop of rain.

11/2
Belatedly opened account at Plumpton (17f) in February and just denied at Taunton off 9 lb higher a fortnight later. However, finished weakly last time and has plenty on her plate from 12 lb out of the handicap here.

Still looking for first success after 7 attempts (tried over a variety of trips) and faces a very stiff task from so far out of the handicap.

Preference is for ROYALE MARGAUX, who looks nicely treated and offered more for her current yard at Ascot last time. Pink Legend is feared most.
