Is 0-10 under rules; tongue tied when a creditable second of 12 in 2m Ludlow novice last month; cheekpieces are added now and she holds good form claims.

Yet to score in eight attempts over hurdles but she's been placed five times, in Ireland and for David Pipe, and her third of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) was a solid effort in January; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent starts but didn't stay 3m last time and now drops back down in trip in a modest event; tongue-tie added and she holds obvious claims.

Ex-Irish; recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) recently; maintained his good level of form when third of five back there ten days ago; must come into this if he can replicate his form here.

Failed to stay 3m two runs back and then made all over C&D two weeks ago, scoring by 2l (several hurdles were omitted); off only 3lb higher he should be on the scene once more.

Form & Verdict
Good bumper form (three wins, including Listed) and a novice hurdle winner (all on good); nowhere near that level in two handicaps for current yard and cheekpieces are now turned to; the prospect of softening ground is a further concern.

Lightly raced since Listed bumper win in February 2023; ran as though something was amiss when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in August but battled well for narrow success in Worcester maiden hurdle (2m, good) two starts ago and remains open to further improvement if back on song here.
