Dual chase winner for new stable this spring; major player on this return to hurdling

Won novice race in May but probably needs to raise her game on this handicap debut

Went close at Kelso in May but well held over C&D since; too unreliable nowadays

Left disappointing handicap debut behind when third at Huntingdon; may progress again

Dropped 2lb since a respectable fourth of seven on handicap debut; not ruled out

Clearcut winner in April but held since; stablemate Barranco appeals more here

Pulled up in last two chases; leap of faith required to support him on hurdle return
