On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field.

Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect.

Flat winner for Ralph Beckett in 2023 (1m4f, good); only hurdles win was a Leicester novice handicap (1m7f, heavy) in December 2024; lightly-raced and fair form since; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Built upon her encouraging debut when comfortable winner of four-runner C&D (soft) maiden in April; the value of that form is open to question and we haven't seen here again since but she's open to further improvement.

Well-bred filly; no match for fairly useful rival when second of five at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month but that was still a very encouraging debut, and she has very obvious potential; commands respect.

Frankel filly who displayed a good attitude when getting off the mark in 11-runner C&D maiden in November; caught the eye when fourth of 12 to the reopposing Quantum Cat on C&D handicap debut since, running on from too far back; definitely better to come and looks sure to have a big say.

Frankel filly who displayed a good attitude when getting off the mark in 11-runner C&D maiden 13 days ago; strong at the finish last time so merits serious consideration on her first go in handicap company.

Pleasing debut in August; started a short price at Ripon next time, when it's possible the rain-softened ground wasn't ideal, and she holds leading claims in this weak maiden.
