Won three in a row here (2m-2m2f, good to firm) in May-July and added a Flat win to her tally in August; second to a next-time-out winner when back over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month and ought to make her presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
0-25 over hurdles but has run some good races at this track, most recently when close second over 2m (good to firm) three weeks ago; also suited by this longer trip and can make her presence felt again.

Off the mark on 35th start under rules when scoring over C&D (good) in July off 2lb lower; fourth of 13 to Uncle Remus here on latest outing and she's pretty consistent, even if the now 1-38 strike-rate is offputting.

Runner-up twice at Stratford before finally making her breakthrough at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, her 27th start over hurdles; well beaten back at Stratford since, though, and probably won't be favoured by rain here; others preferred.

Continued his progress, turning over an odds-on stablemate of The Flying Poet at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; from 6lb lower; fences in the home straight were omitted) three weeks ago; his win in a small field there the time before was over nearly 2m7f; looks hard to beat in hat-trick mission, if proving equally effective over 3m.

Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.
