Form & Verdict
Eighth foal; half-sister to winners Perfect Candidate (2m4f-3m4f hurdle/high-class chase), Hidden Horizons (3m hurdle/3m4f chase) and Lovey Dovey (triple bumper/2m4f hurdle); dam unraced, out of sister to useful hurdle/chase winner up to 3m The Villager; stamina in her pedigree suggests she will improve when she steps up in distance.

11st 7lb

J: Mr S Connor

T: S R B Crawford

Beat three rivals on debut at Ayr last February; ran green and hung badly when pulled up at Fairyhouse; has made amends with two good runs in defeat this season, second to Oldschool Outlaw (later beat Bambino Fever over hurdles) at Navan; third behind two useful geldings over C&D.

Made a winning debut in a four-runner contest at Ayr, a race in which the short-priced favourite flopped; a lot more on her plate now

Form & Verdict
Showed ability when fourth of 12 on debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in October; more required here but she has stamina in her pedigree and should do better once she steps up in distance.

She produced one of her better performances when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June last time but probably needs to better on that effort today if she's to get off the mark at the 14th attempt.

12-race maiden; pulled up over 2m here (soft) on penultimate start, and weakened quickly at Kelso (2m, good; sixth, beaten 21l) subsequently; continues to ease in the weights, now 17lb lower than back in January.

Showed fair form in bumpers but she's yet to match that in this sphere, pulled up in 2m Hexham handicap 15 days ago; has something to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good; 11-10) in November in what does not look to be an overly competitive junior bumper; may struggle to follow up with 7lb penalty against older rivals.

J: Patrick Wadge

Newcastle bumper winner (on debut) in November 2024; hasn't built on that over hurdles, failing to complete (UP) on her last two appearances; lacks the same potential as her highly promising stablemate Jet Of Stars.

Form & Verdict
Shaped most encouragingly on debut when second of ten at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in December, the only one to throw down any sort of challenge to the winner; holds strong claims.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Nicky Richards

The form of her small-field maiden win in December doesn't amount to much but she bettered her low-key handicap debut when creditable fifth of 15 in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month; commands respect in this easier race.

Capitalised on the two market leaders exiting the race three out in four-runner maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; she's unexposed and in good hands but finished down the field on last month's handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); improvement needed.

Probably a lucky winner of a four-runner novice at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good to soft) but is an unexposed sort who could go well on handicap debut.
