Chase winner at the second attempt when always prominent at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) in June; well held over hurdles next time and perhaps heavy ground not ideal when still running well back chasing at Cartmel; has a long absence to overcome.

Two wins last month (one over C&D) and ran well off this mark at Hexham latest; only a 6yo and makes plenty of appeal with the possibility of further improvement to come; often makes the running.

Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit.

Inconsistent winter over hurdles for Liz Lalor either side of a huge task in a Graded mares' novice chase; out of a useful 2m2f-2m4f chaser so some hope in this sphere, if maybe not over this far; stable bow.
