Won this last year and returned to winning ways after a break at Wincanton

Best chase run was the latest over 2m4f and she's worth trying back at this trip

Still early days as a chaser but probably needs a career best to be winning this

Consistent mare and a 4lb rise for beating Ostrava Du Berlais last time seems very fair

Held by Lime Drop on their clash in January and could have run better last time

Beaten fair and square off this mark the last time and perhaps vulnerable again
