British raider; dual Grade 3 bumper winner in France; won two of first four starts over hurdles for this yard but a bad mistake two out proved costly when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso latest; could go well if puts in a clear round of jumping.

Listed bumper winner who built upon previous promise over hurdles when sent up in trip for her handicap debut and winning that 15-runner mares' novice handicap at Newbury in good style; has the 7lb mares' allowance but she still needs to find something extra and can make the odd mistake.

Debut bumper winner for Pat Murphy in October 2024; has made up into a fairly useful hurdler for current yard this term, landing 2m novice at Huntingdon in December; failed to settle upped to 2m4f when pulled up in EBF Mares' Handicap at Newbury a week ago and looks hard to beat back in these much calmer waters.

Won at Huntingdon on penultimate start; soundly beaten behind Charisma Cat in a Listed race here the time before but put up a far better show against that rival when they were placed at Market Rasen on latest outing; they are closely matched judged on latest result and she has more to offer, including at this longer trip.

Marked improvement to win at Windsor in January in her third hurdle race; came from off the pace when fourth of nine at Market Rasen (again 2m, soft) and never got to grips with today's rivals Charisma Cat and Watamu, a result which leaves her with something to find but this is a different trip and her trainer is a dab hand at big handicap wins.

Looked promising in bumpers last season (made the frame in a Listed race); just a respectable fourth on hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October but, under a much more positive ride, had the short-odds favourite out of his comfort zone before falling three out at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; could still have significant potential.

Trailed several of today's rivals at Market Rasen in her second hurdle race but showed that to be all wrong when winning at Southwell (2m5f, soft) 19 days ago, battling back after a bad mistake at the final flight; better is needed for this handicap debut and cheekpieces are added.

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.
