Won over C&D (good to soft) in February and added to tally at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May; effective on heavy ground but didn't run well last month, after a break, and needs that outing to have done her good.

Unexposed 5yo who left inauspicious British debut a long way behind when placed in Southwell maiden (2m4f, good) for the Muir and Grassick stable in January; not seen again since and encounters different trip/ground on today's stable/handicap debut (still with same owner) but probably still has potential.

Seen only twice again since winning maiden hurdle here (2m1f, good) in summer 2022 and was tailed off in soft-ground Carlisle handicap on latter occasion in February; has plenty of Irish pointing experience to call upon on this chasing debut, though, and his course form is another selling point.

No longer as good as he was but seemed to respond well to first-tme cheekpieces when creditable second at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) last month and has obvious claims here if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.
