Form & Verdict
Struggled in 7f novice in February, after a break, but displayed good jolt of improvement when keeping on strongly to lead close home on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f; front pair drew well clear); 2lb ahead of the handicapper under 6lb penalty here; good chance.

Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard.

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat.

Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt.

Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence.

Shaped with significant promise when fourth in 7f Chelmsford novice in November but managed only sixth when favourite for run-of-the-mill Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f) on recent seasonal reappearance and needs improvement on today's handicap debut.

Sole win from 12 starts was over 1m2f on AW but she wasn't beaten far on turf at Lingfield (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; that was under a prominent ride and has possibilities if she can build on that in new headgear.
