Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

Decent mark on the best of his best Irish form; just his second run for this yard when a 3l fourth of 12 at Newmarket (trying 1m for the first time) and being wide throughout wouldn't have helped; interesting.

She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far.
