Quickened nicely clear on run-in at Worcester last week and escapes a penalty here

Won her first two handicap hurdles and could still have lots more to offer over jumps

C&D winner last month; needs to rebound quickly from poor Flat run on Saturday

0-7 over hurdles; ran well over C&D in June but others have more pressing claims

Placed over C&D since his emphatic Flat win in May; can make presence felt again

Won off career-low mark in July but others in this line-up appeal more

Dual hurdle winner (once over C&D) but far too inconsistent to rely upon

Won three times in 2023 but has been out of form this year and is not straightforward

Ran quite well here recently but is 2lb wrong today and faces a tough task

Useful Flat racer; third over C&D on handicap hurdle debut; still has potential over jumps
NR	Greenways Grey J:Ben Ffrench Davis(5) T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	J:Ben Ffrench Davis(5) T:Dominic Ffrench Davis	144	—	500-64	80	109	83	24d	—	—	—	7.5	—	—
Last month's handicap debut was very respectable but improvement is required here
