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.

    It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2023. Has performed respectably here this spring but suspicion is the wait for the next win will go on a bit longer.

    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.

    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.
