Successful on debut over hurdles and has proved very consistent since, most recently a rallying second in 4yo handicap over C&D when the only filly in the field; very solid, back against her own sex.

Won on hurdle/stable debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in October and has continued to run well; Listed third at Aintree in December (2m1f, soft; on which she's closely matched with runner-up Bibe Mus today) and the form of her third at Chepstow (2m, soft) in January has worked out well; chance.

Much better over hurdles than on the Flat, finishing second on first two runs in this code (2m1f/2m, heavy/good); prominent when unseating three out at Ascot (1m7f, soft) last time; he's one to consider.

Unplaced all starts on Flat for Jack Channon but has shown an aptitude for hurdling, improving on debut form when runner-up to a promising type at Kempton (2m, good) just after Christmas; may progress further.

Lightly raced gelding but he's not finished closer than 8l to a winner, including in two handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this summer; mark is sliding but he needs improvement on this switch to Polytrack.
