ASCENDING LARK made a fine start for the Harry Derham yard when winning each of her 2 starts in maiden/novice company back in the spring and, appealing as the type to go on improving further now handicapping, she's fancied to make a bold bid to bring up the hat-trick back from 8 months off. Hard As Nails rates a likely type to bounce back from her Sandown effort and is a threat, as is Taunton scorer Ironed Out.

    Verdict
    Dual hurdles winner (including here) who reportedly bled when pulled up on final start of last season here (23.8f) in April. Easy to back and shaped as if better for the run on last month's reappearance when sixth in handicap at Aintree (20f) 3 weeks ago. Better expected back down in trip.

    Verdict
    Fair form at best in trio of bumpers in Ireland and comes here having readily landed each of her 2 starts in mares' maiden/novice hurdles at around 2m during the spring. Big player now handicapping on return with prospect of more to come.

    Verdict
    Progressed a bit to make a successful handicap debut after 3 months off at Stratford (18.5f, good to soft) in October. Appeared to find test too much when fourth in testing conditions at Sandown (19.8f) 6 weeks ago and she appeals as the type to bounce back.

    Verdict
    Plenty of promise in 3 bumper starts and perfect start over hurdles when bagging Exeter mares' maiden (16.7f) on return in October. Struck into when pulled up at Newbury next time but below form when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) 39 days ago. Handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Only narrowly denied at Fakenham before Christmas and confirmed improvement shown then when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f) 8 days ago. Respected under a penalty given she's still low-mileage from a handicapping perspective.

    Verdict
    Found improvement when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) in November. Respectable efforts from inflated mark both starts subsequently around there and handicapper has relinquished his grip a little ahead of this.
