Form & Verdict
Placed twice in 2020 from nine starts on the Flat when trained in France; modest form in her five runs over hurdles for this yard does not spark any particular appeal but she's not entirely dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Disputed the lead and only just clung on in a classified at Chepstow (1m4f, good) in June; held the late thrust of the reopposing Typewritten on that occasion and that rival won when this 3yo was a fair sixth of 12 from the front on Southwell AW 13 days ago; improvement is needed.

Sole win was at Chepstow (1m4f, good) in June 2022; missed last year but he's struggled in two points and a 1m2f classified event since returning from a long absence; this step back up in trip is a positive but he needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Two wins from 38 starts, latterly over 1m4f on Southwell AW in February off 3lb lower in first-time cheekpieces; lame the following month and not seen again until below form back at Southwell three weeks ago; it's possible he can build on that and he had some respectable turf form in 2021; cheekpieces (absent last time) return.
