Forever Grey (IRE) Has bled this season and doesn't find a lot off the bridle; has won over fences, at Hexham back in May; this isn't a strong event so she could put in a show.
Begsy's Bullet Tries chasing now after a couple of placed efforts (including in a seller); has some scope for chasing but hard to be strong on her chances first time up.
Fireside Girl (IRE) Easily beat Begsy's Bullet over hurdles in October at this track; a dual hurdle winner, she makes her chasing debut here, which she is certainly bred for.
Merry Christmas She finished 14 lengths behind Forever Grey here last year in a similar event; she hasn't shown anything yet this year.
Minioso Ran quite well on her chasing debut when finishing second at Catterick (2m3f,soft/heavy); in a weak event,she holds every chance.
Shuildante (IRE) Would have needed her most recent run; had pretty good novices' form last season; makes chasing debut today.
Swiss Comfort (IRE) Moderate form and can't be seriously considered for this.
Tudor Gale (IRE) Hasn't shown a lot at this game and is now tried in first-time blinkers.
