Good second back on the grass at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month; fair fourth at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) since; likeable and consistent but doesn't obviously have much in hand off her mark.

Largely disappointing for this stable under both codes and, after a brief respite on the Flat at Newbury in April, he refused to come out of the stalls at York last month, both times in this headgear; best hurdle effort when runner-up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in October offers some hope on handicap switch, but current form is a clear concern.

Formerly useful for Kevin Ryan but was sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles; this tongue-tie (tried once in 2023) returned on latest outing, along with first-time hood; 17lb below his peak mark, but no win since he scored twice at York in 2023.

Lightly raced since winning a Listed handicap here in September 2024; back from an absence, he was a much bigger price than Putapoundinthejar at Punchestown in April and duly finished well behind the Martin horse.

Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help.
