Comment: Only just ahead of Mermaids Cave at Cheltenham (beaten 16l), but it's possible neither that track nor the Newbury of her preceding Grade 2 handicap outing suit her as well as Ludlow's flat, sharp right-hander, scene of October's easy win (2m5f, good); not ruled out off dipping mark.

Comment: Prolific 2023-24 included a hat-trick a year ago, but was never a factor at Cheltenham latest and stiff mark is unchanged; 0-9 record going right-handed (5-9 the other way) also rates a concern; cheekpieces go on.

Comment: Sole win came in July 2021 and it's been possible to call him well handicapped for a while now; absence to overcome, but more suitable ground does await than on either previous start over a stayers' trip.

Comment: Five-time hurdle winner who made quite promising chase debut when third (albeit well held) in better race than this at Kempton (2m4f, good) in November; raced too freely and was below that form the following month; still firmly in the reckoning here under optimum conditions.
