Beat 13 rivals to win at Carlisle and this lightly raced 8yo is a strong candidate up 6lb

0-15 since winning on debut in March 2023 but arrives in good heart and could be involved

Promising third on stable/chase debut here in November but two lesser runs have followed

Runner-up over fences on last two starts and this 6yo could have more to offer; chance

Stamina to prove but signs of promise at Carlisle last time and she's not ruled out

Not devoid of promise over C&D last month but two lesser runs have followed elsewhere
