Just 1-8 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up to 2m7f when clear second at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in March, where she travelled strongly for a long way; up in trip again here; must be considered.

Lightly raced 7yo who justified favouritism in Aintree maiden (2m4f, good) in October 2024; hasn't made a big impact in handicaps since but his latest fourth at Haydock was a fair effort after a short break; continues to slide down the weights and he's one to keep an eye on at this new trip.

Good ground for all seven of his races; won in small fields for a maiden (here) and a novice hurdle; ran creditably in 3m/2m7f handicaps on last two outings, seemingly needing some respite from the handicapper, who's not made much of a reaction, but this field may offer him a better chance.

Has not had that many chances at this sort of trip and he drew clear to win at Ascot in February, beating 16 rivals (2m7f, good); was beaten under 2l in a strong Uttoxeter handicap on the Midlands' National card but that was under a very capable 5lb claimer; likely to need more here.
