Form & Verdict
Out of a sister to a German 1m2f Group 1 winner; showed his inexperience and was never able to land a telling blow when seventh of 14 in Listed Cheltenham bumper (soft) last month but attracted strong market support there (5-1 from 18-1) and is in calmer waters for today's hurdling debut.

Form & Verdict
Made quite promising bumper debut when third at Doncaster (good) in November but was safely held when filling same position on first two hurdling starts (good to soft/soft) and probably needs today's return to a sound surface to enable some improvement.

Ran as though something was amiss when warm favourite for debut at Ludlow in December but is out of a very well-connected mare and represents a top stable; ought to be capable of considerably better.

Yet to set the world alight and finished last on her latest outing at Chepstow in April; her best effort came on good to firm and starts handicap life on a modest mark for top stable; market check essential.

Flopped when warm favourite for debut but fared better when third (over 4l behind Imperial Jade) at Newbury (2m, good to firm) in February and was respectable fourth in stronger race than this at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month; with a top stable and may still have a bigger run in her.

Quickened well to win tactical race on debut at Ffos Las on debut in October and ran well in defeat behind a subsequent winner at Huntingdon (also 2m, good) in December; likely contender here too.

Close fourth of 17 at in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, good to soft) last March and now 5lb lower; it was his chase debut when pulled up at Lingfield in November but he nevertheless arrives with something to prove regarding his current form; wears first-time cheekpieces.

2m5f chase winner and has the better form in that discipline, but he's not yet fully exposed over hurdles and his 7l second over C&D in May 2024 was a fair effort on final start for Pat Murphy; makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched.
