Mark hit hard for recent win over hurdles but she's bred to make a chaser

Respectable first run for this yard but does look a shade high in the weights

Finds winning hard and that will again be the case here from 8lb out of the weights

Every chance provided he can bounce back from a miserable run at Chepstow

Presence of a fellow front-runner did him no favours on his comeback at Ludlow

Not in bad form after an absence but doesn't look a winner waiting to happen
7	I Love You Sivola Bay J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Helen Nelmes	J:Lorcan Murtagh T:Helen Nelmes	142	tp	-P4P55	89	112	93	27d	—	—	+4	12	3.50/1	14/1 7%
