Lightly raced 4yo; put everything together when winning at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January, racing freely in front and pulling further clear on run-in; the basic form is just fair but he's anything but exposed and must be considered.

Not disgraced on either hurdling start (beaten just over 20l both times) but will probably be of greater interest when qualified for handicaps.

Little show on her debut but she took a step forward on the back of wind surgery when fourth of eight in 2m junior hurdle at Newbury in January; she may do better still after a break; possibilities.

Quiet at about 2m over hurdles before going up to 3m on handicap debut at Southwell, a trip she might not have stayed; she's still got plenty to prove.

Beaten a long way in her three qualifying runs around 2m (good to soft/heavy) this winter but her yard has been among the winners in recent days and she's one to monitor closely in the betting now handicapping over a significantly longer trip.
