Notched a second course victory when making all over 1m6f in May; twice runner-up since but ridden more patiently than usual when only ninth of 12 in 1m6f handicap here 16 days ago; can get back on track.

Gamely made all over C&D (good to firm) in May and has largely remained in good form since, going close when second at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing; may find others better handicappped, though.

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

Beaten in the region of 6l in similar races at Worcester and Southwell so has each-way claims, and the return of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) is no bad thing.

Four thirds over hurdles (from seven attempts) in the midst of his extensive Flat career; that includes off this mark behind Crafty Gael over nearly 3m at Worcester three weeks ago but he seemingly needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark in this sphere.

Creditable third of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; seen only twice over jumps since, latterly when safely held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but stays well on the Flat so this new trip could suit.
