Formscan  - SWEET CARYLINE's winning sequence came to an end at Cheltenham in December when finishing behind Game Colours (third). However, Joe Tizzard's mare has every chance of reversing the form on this occasion with a 3lb swing at the weights. Handicap debutants Klassy Pearl (second) and Coolkatie (fourth) met in a Ayr maiden hurdle at the end of last month and the pair are capable of taking a step forward.
