Form & Verdict

Disappointing at Newcastle (1m4f) last month but she's possibly unsuited by Tapeta and two starts ago she made a winning handicap debut at 25-1 over this C&D; not written off now back here.

Unable to threaten across his first three starts but those were over 7f/6f and this Ulysses gelding is tackling a vastly different trip on handicap debut; interesting for top jumps yard, especially if strong in the betting.

She's raced three times and has shown ability at up to 1m; her pedigree doesn't scream 1m4f performer but she's nevertheless one to consider now up in trip on handicap debut for her in-form, respected stable.
