Goes chasing off the back of a handicap hurdle win here last month off 80 (2m, soft to heavy; fine on good), keeping on well to lead at the death; should make a chaser; interesting contender. |

Minor promise in first three handicap starts on decent ground at 2m-2m6f in 2024; returned from 535-day absence when (backed) remote fourth in C&D novice handicap in February; better for that but still best watched on this sort of ground. |

Placed on her last three starts, twice at Clonmel before finding one too good at Limerick last month; good chance of exploiting a modest handicap mark even though she's now rated in the 80s. |

Close up in a 2m handicap hurdle at Limerick (soft to heavy; first-time tongue-tie) before finishing well behind on his chase debut back there 11 days ago when an early mistake didn't help his cause; could have a part to play if avoiding similar mishaps. |

A couple of encouraging efforts since returning from a long absence, notably when fifth of 24 at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); another positive effort when a 7.75l fifth at Limerick latest (2m, soft to heavy); should give a good account once again. |

Ordinary Flat form in Britain and three quiet runs in maidens before much-improved on handicap debut (following wind surgery and with first-time tongue-tie) at Cork early this month when a 40-1 shot, hitting last but winning going away over 2m (yielding); 10lb rise for that but could go well. |
