Modest Flat maiden ran reasonably in her opening three maiden hurdles but was well behind at Downpatrick latest; worth a market check on handicap debut.

Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon.

Dual Flat winner in Denmark and now a dual winner over hurdles after narrowly taking a small-field novice at Newcastle last month (2m4f, good); could be on a fair mark for this chasing debut but he'll need to take to fences.
