Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra.

Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race.

Form & Verdict
Last season was a good one, enhancing a good overall strike-rate over hurdles; again ran well when only 5l away off this career-high mark at Perth the final time (3m2f, soft); hard to knock, other than that the handicapper may now have his number.

Dual C&D winner; only win last season was a walkover in a chase; went back hurdling after that and took time to find his form, but sound placed efforts on last two starts, latest when third at Haydock in March (3m, good; first run after a wind op) when Super Survivor was well behind in eighth; chance.

6-26 over hurdles, including a win with first-time cheekpieces in this race in 2024 (soft) and he is 1lb lower today; ridden by 7lb claimer last four outings, with a big return to some form on latest (second at Market Rasen) and that has been followed by his second wind operation; cheekpieces (absent on last four starts) return; too well handicapped to be ignored.

Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist.

Capable handicapper on his day but has become hard to predict and he's been off since a fall in December; rain would aid his chance but even then he comes with an element of risk.
