Best Night (M)
[T]
Made winning start over hurdles at Newton Abbot in September but hasn't really built on that since, down the field in Exeter handicaps the last twice.

Getmetothemoon (M)
[T]
Returned to winning ways at Stratford (16.3f) in October and bounced back from a lesser effort when a staying-on third at Wincanton (19.8f) 23 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Getarose (M)
Hinted at promise when reaching the frame in maiden hurdles at Ffos Las (15.8f) and Hereford (19.5f) but made little impact from a tough-looking opening mark on handicap bow over C&D latest. Will need to improve.

East End Girl (M)
Dual winner over timber who showed benefit of reappearance run when respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is one for shortlist.

Broomfield Gale (M)
Has her quirks, but resumed from a break/wind op an improved performer earlier this year, opening her account at Stratford (22f) in May before placing at Worcester and Fontwell. Underperformed on return to action at Exeter last month but c…

Bluenose Belle (M)
Made a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (17.7f) in April and found a bit of improvement to follow up at Market Rasen (16.6f) 4 weeks later. Back from 7 months off when creditable second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to …

Ruler Of The River (M)
[TV1]
Returned to winning ways on debut for current yard at Plumpton (20.5f) in September but has rather gone backwards since, pulling up after a recent breathing operation at Leicester latest.

Jukebox Annie (M)
FAV
C&D winner who possibly still needed the outing when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, good to firm, 17/2) 42 days ago. Not out of things.

L'inoubliable (M)

Yet to really threaten in a handful of starts in this sphere, faring litte better in first-time cheekpieces when down the field at Uttoxeter last month.
