Verdict

STAR WALKING has made a promising start to her Rules career, finishing strongly for second at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut last month, so she is taken to go one better with improvement to come upped in trip. Betty's Tiara finished runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles earlier this year and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Lady d'Arbanville.

Verdict
Successful sole outing in points before landing the odds in a Fakenham bumper. After 7 months off, shaped well when runner-up in maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow in November, rallying final 1f. Leading contender up in trip.

Verdict
Bumper winner on debut and promising second at Hereford (21.7f, soft) on hurdles bow in January. Bounced back from a lesser effort when again finishing runner-up at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) in March, so she enters calculations on her return.

Verdict
After 19 months off, looked potentially useful when winning bumper at Plumpton and made solid start to hurdling career when second at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) in January. Disappointing at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) when last seen in April, but it remains early days for her.

Shaped with some encouragement both starts in bumpers, showing better form than on debut when fifth of 12 at Aintree (17f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Task is now to build on those efforts as she goes up in trip for hurdling debut.

Verdict
Purchased for £100,000 after winning sole Irish point and ran to a fair level both starts in bumpers last season. Runner-up at Ascot in May, with the winner successful over hurdles next time, so she's one to consider as she goes hurdling herself.

Verdict
Four months on from hurdling debut (had a wind op), left that run behind when third in a Doncaster novice (19.4f, heavy) in March. Got closer again when runner-up in maiden at Stratford (22f. good to soft) on return, so she could be in the mix once more.

Verdict
Didn't offer much in 2 bumpers for Milton Harris but was much improved after 14 months off when third of 6 at Hereford (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Watch for market clues with yard going well ahead of her hurdles debut.

Modest form when placed on second of 3 starts in bumpers and, after 3 months off, ran to similar level when second of 5 in novice at this C&D (good to soft) on hurdling debut 2 weeks ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Encouraging start when runner-up in bumper at Plumpton a year ago, though went backwards from that effort next time and well held on seasonal/hurdling debut at Exeter (18.5f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Verdict
Runner-up in an Irish point but below expectations on bumper debut in April. After 6 months off, possibly needed the run sent hurdling when seventh of 11 in maiden at Stratford (22f, good to soft) in October, though it was a weak finish. Has something to find.

Verdict
Modest form in 2 bumpers 7 months apart but was never a threat on hurdling debut when sixth of 12 in maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. May be one for further down the line making return from 11 months off.

€50,000 3-y-o but offered little on her belated debut when tailed-off fourteenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at this course (15.2f, good) in October. Major improvement required as she goes up in trip.
