Improved for debut experience when second, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on any ground. Inconsistent in a short hurdles career, but the point winner is progressing over fences.
A winner of a point-to-point at 3m, but that win was over three years ago. Beaten 5l by Cooleenymore when second of 10 at 9-1 on her latest outing in a chase at Fontwell over 3m 2f (soft) last month.

Made too much use of when stepped up in trip on testing ground and finished fourth, beaten 30l, in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time; effective around 2m and acts on good ground. Surely capable of better over fences.
Successful in two point-to-points at 3m on good - yielding ground. Well beaten at 18-1 behind Stamina Chope when fourth of 9 on her latest outing in a chase at Ffos Las over 2m 3f (heavy) last month.

Did it easily and improved when down in trip, benefitting from a light weight in testing conditions to land a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m and suited by cut. Should remain competitive in low grades.
She has won a chase and two point-to-points from 2m 4f to 3m on good to soft and heavy ground. A winner at 40-1 in a chase at Leicester over 2m 4f (heavy) on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Moor End by 2 1/2l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

Pulled up in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on good to firm ground and is suited by cut. Out of form.
Successful in a chase and a point-to-point at 2m 5f and 3m on good and soft ground. Pulled up 2 out when 6-1 at Newton Abbot over 3m 2f (good) in a chase won by Blackacre in August last year on her latest outing.

Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time; the type to do better handicapping off a basement mark.
Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 250-1 behind Keno Black when eighth of 10 on her latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Lingfield over 2m (heavy) earlier this month.

Verdict
None of these are overly convincing but VOLEUR DE TERRES seemed to enjoy herself when winning at Leicester and a 7lb penalty might not prevent her from following up, especially if the forecast rain arrives. Only Gossip has a better recent completion record than any of them and she also needs taking seriously as she bids for a first career win under Rules. Lynsey Larue and Arctic Stream are others to monitor in the betting market.
Expert View Verdict
Tough to get away from VOLEUR DE TERRES who pulled off a big upset last time. She had plenty in hand that day on testing ground so a 7lb rise looks lenient with the step back up in trip no issue. Cracker Muddle showed little over hurdles but appeals as the type to do much better over fences now stepped up in distance. He can pose the biggest challenge ahead of Only Gossip who left her debut effort behind when runner up to an in form rival last time.
