A 3 lb rise looks fair given how strung out the field were, and there’s just plenty to like with the yard going well at present. The current favourite is too short, so I wouldn't rule out dutching.

It's Maisy. She won three long-distance hurdles on soft going in the 2023??'2024 season but has not won since. However, she should appreciate testing conditions at Uttoxeter, and on a mark of 96 she is just four pounds above her last winning mark.

Two recent runs for the 4yo filly after coming off a six-month break. Beaten just 2L during Oct. She was a close 3rd of 16 five weeks ago; the field was quite strung out that day. More progress possible, and back on soft ground is a positive.

This horse raced at a decent level on the Flat for Haggas, and that suggests this mark of 102 could underestimate her now that she gets the step up in trip, which looks certain to suit. She was outpaced late on last time out but showed enough to suggest that this extra half mile should be ideal. The trainer is in good form, and he's one of the best at placing his horses well.
