Battled well to pip Well Educated off today's mark here (2m, good) in June and lost out by only a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) two starts ago; didn't run badly when third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; each-way claims at least.

Won over Hexham's stiff 2m in June and only narrowly failed to get up over 2m1f here 12 days ago (under Rebecca Hitchen); stays this far and has a solid chance.

Hexham winner in June (2m, good); hasn't run quite as well since, though far from disgraced in a stronger race at Market Rasen last time (2m4f, good); a possible.

Very well handicapped if judged on last year's chase form (includes a course win) but was safely held on all four hurdling starts this spring/summer (2m4f-2m7f) and needs recent wind op to have made a difference.

Has stronger form over fences and well beaten on return to hurdling for his three starts this May-July; has another career-low jumps mark and his only two races over 2m3f-2m5f were solid, so not entirely ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Not the most consistent and she comes here on the back of a below-par fourth of five in 2m1f Carmel handicap chase 29 days ago; others appeal more.

Two wins at Carlisle in November 2024 (2m1f, soft/good to soft); mixed form since, including over fences; sound run back hurdling at Carlisle in March (2m1f, soft), but poor next time and has since had wind surgery; bit to prove.

Made an encouraging start chasing when twice placed over C&D in the spring but he blundered four out when a below-par fifth back here eight days ago; he shouldn't be written off.

All seven wins over hurdles between 2m-2m1f, including one at this track (good) in May; followed up at Perth (2m, good) the following month and maintained his form when runner-up at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in July; produced one of his lesser efforts when fifth of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) last month but looks worth another chance here.

Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance.

Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here.
