Down the field when 9-2 for last month's handicap hurdle debut over 2m4f at Ayr; however, trainer's representative reported he may have been unsuited by the soft, heavy in places ground; showed promise in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft) and this 4yo retains potential back down in trip and back on better ground.

0-9 on the Flat but he's shown promise on all three hurdle starts and has potential off his opening mark judged on his close second at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; receives handy 4yo allowance and he could have a big part to play if seeing out this new trip.

Unable to threaten on her three starts and tailed off at Chester last time when upped to 1m2f; however, this attractively bred filly cost 115,000euros at the breeze-ups last May and is one to watch in the betting off a modest mark on her handicap debut.
