St. Austell Brewery Handicap Chase

Well below form last time, finishing ninth after a more encouraging second on the previous start; form has tailed off recently and acts on soft and good around 2m. First-time tongue strap fitted and conditions may help, but there is something to prove after that poor latest display.

Won a point by eight lengths last time, reliable and likely thrown in relative to a handicap mark here; effective over 3m on good ground and has two wins in recent starts. Our top-rated runner and, despite this being her first attempt over regulation fences, the pointing form puts her ahead of the field on merit.

Took this race off a 4lb lower mark last year and arrives only 4lb higher after a run of close seconds, just worn down late over the longer trip last time; a front-running type who relishes making it, effective around 2m-2m-4f on soft and good with the trainer in form. Should benefit from dropping back in trip and is a clear threat to our selection.

Placed twice in recent starts over today's trip and conditions; pulled too hard and emptied when tried at a longer distance last time but has course and distance form and handles a wide range of ground. Effective over 2m-2m-4f and looks capable of contributing from the placed positions if settling better.

Beaten 23 lengths in third last time over course and distance, held up and losing ground on the testing uphill finish; effective over 2m-4f-2m-7f and first-time tongue strap fitted. A maiden without a win in recent starts, but an unexposed type over fences who could stay on for minor honours.
