Miss Carbo (F)
[H]
Fair ex-French hurdler who showed improved form on handicap debut over a longer trip when readily winning 6-runner event at Hereford last week. Officially 2 lb 'well-in' here under a penalty and fancied to be in the shake-up.

Theirshegoes (M)
[P1]
Won twice last season but struggling for form this time around, tailed off at this track when last seen 3 months ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Vanilla Dancer (M)
Placed twice at the turn of the year before snapping a losing run in 5-runner Catterick mares' event in February. Not in the same form at Carlisle subsequently, but this step back up in trip rates as a plus.

Ebselysees (M)
Ran up to best in a change of headgear when second of 8 in handicap at Huntingdon on November but not in the same form back there the following month. Consistency not her strong suit so hard to know what to expect on first start for her ne…

Green Bonnet (M)
Runner-up in course novice on Rules debut last spring and ran to a similar level when third of 11 here in September. Proved to be a disappointment after 6 months off at Newcastle last month so needs to get back on track. NON RUNNER.

Georgie's Malt (M)
Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles and failed to find any improvement for the switch to a handicap. Yet to try beyond 2½m and further progress may arrive when doing so.

Take A Hike (M)
[P1T]
Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break over C&D in November. Disappointing the last twice and the handicapper drops her another couple.

Parish Star (M)
FAV
[HT]
Improved for current yard, winning at Newcastle before following up at Southwell in good style. Disappointed when bidding for a quick-fire hat-trick at Carlisle but worth another chance back from a short break with hood/tongue strap back o…

Am I Bovvered (M)

No impact in bumpers/over hurdles. Needs this switch to a handicap to prove transformative.
