Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) for Evan Williams in February but was quickly back in the doldrums next time; sold for £6,5000 in May; no cheekpieces for today's stable debut; versatile regarding ground but not an easy horse to predict.

Form & Verdict
Four-time course winner; very much on the downgrade now but kept on for respectable third at Warwick (2m, good) in April and last month's 23l defeat here came in a much stronger race than this; raced mainly on good ground but has won on soft; a possible off career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September and bettered her disappointing chase debut when second to a much improved rival there (2m4f, good) last month; may not want the ground to turn soft here but could still have potential over fences; enters calculations.
