This looks ripe for LOUD AND PROUD, who immediately left her hurdles form behind when third on recent chase debut at Warwick and she is open to improvement. Baby Chou is second choice ahead of chase debutante Ann d'Arabie.

Verdict
Just the one win from 12 hurdling starts to her name and record in this sphere stands at 0-7. Will likely come up short once again, unless the first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue strap have a positive effect.

Verdict
Winless following 8 attempts between the flags and failed to make much of an impact in 4 starts over hurdles. However, there were more positive signs when third of 8 on chase debut at Warwick (3m, soft) 3 weeks ago and she looks capable of winning races in this sphere on that evidence.

Verdict
Point winner who has yet to get her head in front under Rules but it's surely a matter of time before she puts that right having found just one too good in 25.2f handicap chases at Catterick the last twice. In the mix.

Verdict
Yet to win a race of any description following 19 attempts under Rules and she was around 7 lengths adrift of the second-placed Baby Chou when fourth at Catterick last month. Looks vulnerable, for all that she's on a good mark judged on pick of her hurdles form.
