Form & Verdict
Didn't progress after winning maiden hurdle for Nicky Henderson in June 2021 but made quite pleasing stable debut when keeping-on second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) this month; interesting to see whether she can build on that performance on this first attempt at 3m.

Went close in 16-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July, her second run since returning to racing under rules; below that form when well-held fourth over C&D since but has cheekpieces refitted today; can't be ruled out.

Made low-key return to racing under rules in June but last month's close second of 16 behind Cinderello in refitted cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was a good effort; goes without cheekpieces here but still features prominently in calculations.

Runner-up in four consecutive points this year; made low-key rules return/stable debut three weeks ago (2m4f) but will be suited by today's move back up in trip, and the refitted cheekpieces may also aid her cause.

Form & Verdict
Started off in handicaps with two 3m wins in March (one over C&D; cheekpieces added) and, following a break, caught the eye making good late headway from poor position to take fifth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) this month; can resume his progress now he has that outing under his belt.

Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces.
