Never figured in heavy-ground event won by a smart sort last time; consistent efforts in two bumpers and a novice hurdle otherwise but needs improvement to get off the mark; stable second string.

Has made the frame in two bumpers and a Market Rasen novice hurdle (2m2f) for a consistent start to his career; however, has a lot to find on bare figures and yard holds a much stronger chance with Kadastral.

Form & Verdict
Won three-runner course bumper (good; runner-up has done well over hurdles since) last March and made quite promising seasonal/hurdle debut when second (no match for winner) at Hereford (2m, good) in November; moves up in trip today and has a big role to play.

Runner-up in a Wetherby bumper (2m, soft) in December 2024 but she has struggled to get to grips with hurdles (0-3), making various mistakes at Market Rasen (2m2f novice; 40-1) latest; some improvement needed on handicap debut.

Took a step forward in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) when third at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago on her handicap hurdle debut; finished third in her sole point and her dam was a useful chaser, so this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer now switched to fences.

It's been a struggle in novice races but she now goes into a handicap with a tongue-tie fitted and over a much longer trip that could benefit according to her pedigree; would merit greater attention if at all strong in the betting.
