Form & Verdict
Chased home two Charlie Appleby-trained runners when third (clear of the fourth) in a 1m maiden at Newmarket 16 days ago (good to firm); that is the best piece of form on offer and he's open to plenty of improvement; likely to face slower ground today but he is by Cracksman so it may not be an issue; major player.

Smart dual-purposer type got the Galway Hurdle in the stewards' room last summer and beat very useful Absurde in conditions' hurdle last month; his Flat run at Chester in September proved that he's worthy of this mark and showed he had a bit of boot when running well over 1m on AW pre-Cheltenham.

Won the Galway Hurdle last year off 145 (awarded race by stewards) and has also won twice on the level (rated 91); trip and ground fine here and he finished well ahead of Absurde in the County Hurdle last month, though he had a fitness edge that day; talented claimer takes off 5lb and every chance at the weights.

Very smart hurdler whose two visits to this meeting have produced a third in the 2024 Fred Winter and second to Kargese in this last year; improved again to win last summer's Galway Hurdle (pipped by Helvic Dream but awarded the race after suffering interference); below par when remote third to Lossiemouth in Grade 1 Morgiana in November but warmed up for this with a fine run on AW Flat last month over a trip short of his best; while his good record in top handicap hurdles (also second in 2024 Galway Hurdle) makes him a dangerous one to discount, he'll require a high-class performance to win off 156.

Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time.

Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more.

Unexposed 3yo who returned from a break with an improved third on her handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 33-1) two weeks ago; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she now drops back in trip but this well-bred filly has plenty of speed in her pedigree; interesting contender.
