SMURFETTE looked better than ever when going close on her belated return at Uttoxeter last month and is preferred to Impatient and Kayce Dutton, who both revived when winning last time.

7	Scored twice over fences last year, posting career best when easily taking 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good, 9/4) 14 months ago. First run since when good second at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, briefly looking to have the winner’s measure. Can go well again if this doesn't come too soon. 1st Pick 7 Smurfette Jockey: Jack Andrews Trainer: Tom Ellis J: Jack Andrews T: Tom Ellis	100	-	-	-	39%

2	Looked better than ever when doubling his tally over fences with a decisive victory at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) in the run-up to Christmas. Now 7 lb higher in a tougher race and consistency hasn't always been his forte but there's little doubt that he will be a danger to all if again on-song. 2nd Pick 2 Impatient (Fr) Jockey: K. Brogan Trainer: Jonjo & A.J. O'neill J: K. Brogan T: Jonjo & A.J. O'neill	98	-	-	-	17%

5	Got off the mark in this sphere here (2m5f) in May, responding well to this headgear. Failed to fire next 3 starts but resumed winning ways with cheekpieces re-fitted over C&D 16 days ago. Must be respected under similar conditions. 3rd Pick 5 Kayce Dutton (Ire) Jockey: Robert Dunne Trainer: Charles & Adam Pogson J: Robert Dunne T: Charles & Adam Pogson	95	-	-	-	29%
