Won at Cartmel on stable debut in August but has failed to match that level since and her latest effort back from a break was underwhelming; visor now goes on and she's down in the weights but she has a bit to prove at present.

Fair on the Flat for Andrew Balding (albeit a maiden) and belied 33-1 odds to make winning stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m good) last month; has form on soft ground and ought to play a major role here.

Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix.

0-6 on the Flat in France but went close in 1m4f claimer in April (very soft ground); changed hands for 7,000euros last month and has been gelded; interesting to see how he fares on stable/hurdle debut.

0-6 on the Flat in France last year but he had a close call over an extended 1m4f; ran well for long way when third on hurdling debut at Cartmel (2m1f, heavy) for Stuart Edmunds last August but that form is modest and this race looks much tougher after a long absence; best watched for another new yard.

Form & Verdict
Showed no significant promise on the Flat (five runs) but his two hurdling attempts for Gavin Cromwell this summer were more encouraging; beaten about 18l when fifth at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft) a fortnight ago but at least that run proved he handles slow ground reasonably well; shortlisted on today's stable debut.

Has good Flat pedigree but hung left throughout, raced too freely and was well beaten on debut for Simon and Ed Crisford in May (1m4f, AW); sold for 3,800gns soon afterwards; looks too risky on stable/hurdle debut.

Fair Flat racer; no match for winner and probably only third best on merit when second on hurdling debut at Market Rasen in June (2m, good; had wind op soon after) but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he has a fighting chance here.
