7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark.

Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival.

Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now.
