HAPPY INDEX is the percentage call as she goes in search of a third course win but a strong market move for Nicky Richards handicap newcomer Bean Alainn would make her a possible big threat. Last month's Kelso scorer Our Girl Sal also makes the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Made it 3 wins in 5 starts when seeing off 3 rivals over 26.5f here last month, taking her form figures at Perth to 131. A 4 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent her making another bold bid.

    No win since 2023 but has recorded 3 creditable in-frame efforts this spring, the latest when third at Downpatrick in first-time blinkers (retained). A respected Irish raider.

    Verdict
    Gained a first success under Rules when getting up in the dying strides at Kelso last month. That was only her second start for Paul Robson and she's unexposed as a stayer so it wouldn't be a surprise were she to have more to offer.

    Four-time course scorer whose latest success came at Hexham (2m, good) last June. Made a respectable return from a break when fifth over 2½m here last month but stamina a big worry back at 3m.

    Tongue strap on for first time when gaining a first success in over 3 years in 23f Hexham handicap hurdle last month. No big surprise when he failed to back that up at the same venue since, though.

    Didn't show anything in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles over 2m last autumn but given a break and could prove a totally different proposition now handicapping over a much longer trip.
