Window Of Time (second choice) and Little Soiree are not passed over lightly but preference is for ALVESTA (nap) who lacks the experience of some of these but looks to be on a fair opening mark for her handicap debut. [Tim Mitchell]

Went very close to losing her maiden status three runs ago but hasn't really kicked on from that, although she did meet interference last time at Plumpton where she would have likely been placed when ridden by Freddie Gordon; dropped 2lb and difficult to rule out.
Made a promising start to her hurdle career when a close second of three at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April and improved on that when fourth in a deeper Warwick maiden two weeks ago; lacks experience in this code but makes handicap debut off a workable mark.
In the first three on good ground over hurdles on her last four starts, all at 2m, and shaped promisingly off this mark on November's handicap debut when just under a 5l third of 13 at Southwell; wouldn't need to improve on that too much to figure if ready to roll on first start since.
From a successful family for this stable but she's yet to really shine in five starts over hurdles, although her latest run in November (2m, good) when returning from a break was more encouraging (second run in handicaps); another absence to overcome but she has each-way claims if building on that.
Won at Cartmel on stable debut in August but has failed to match that level since and her latest effort back from a break was underwhelming; visor now goes on and she's down in the weights but she has a bit to prove at present.
Low-grade mares' handicap winner at Fakenham in March (2m, good to soft) off 3lb lower but she hasn't kicked on from that in four runs since, although her latest fourth at Market Rasen (2m, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction.
A good-ground bumper winner in September but she's shown little in four starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut last time; needs to turn things around.
