Mermaids Cave (M)
[V1]
Prolific since joining James Owen, bagging a seventh win in a 2m claiming hurdle at Huntingdon in November. Well below par at Ascot and Cheltenham since but took this prize 12 months ago so could bounce back fitted with new headgear.

Pretending (M)
[P]
On a losing run and refitted with cheekpieces when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Others are preferred.

Looking As You Are (M)
Returned with a good Market Rasen second but below par since, just fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Windsor (20f, good) 17 days ago. More is needed.

Miss Cynthia (M)
Useful stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and a 2m4f hurdles scorer for Lucy Wadham last season. Had wind surgery/tongue tied before a below-par seventh of 10 for her new yard in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.6f, good) 22 days ago. Need…

Audacious Annie (M)
[P]
Ended last season with 2m4f wins at Wetherby/Warwick and right back on song of late, fifth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Kempton 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Apples Moon (M)
Has continued on the up this term and bids for a hat-trick following handicap wins at Exeter (18f) in November and Wincanton (19.8f) following month. Up another 5 lb but she's open to more progress so rates a big player once more.

Princess Keri (M)
FAV
In fine form since reverted to hurdles, landing handicaps at Lingfield (2m) and Ludlow (21f) later in November. Not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid despite a 7 lb rise.
