Dual C&D winner last autumn (good/soft); ended last season with some disappointing efforts, though, and looked badly out of sorts on both Flat appearances this spring; leap of faith required to support her today.

Won two 3m hurdles last autumn but has lost her way over jumps this year and was well beaten here (1m4f) when back on the Flat a fortnight ago, after a wind op; this longer trip ought to suit better but it still takes a leap of faith to support her.

Won on Polytrack (twice over 1m6f) and Tapeta (1m4f) last August in his first three handicaps but his form nosedived in his final two runs in the autumn; still relatively lightly raced but he needs to get back on track after 132 days off; cheekpieces added.

Last run: 19 days

W: 9st 10lb

3 yo Filly

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Yet to win but several good runs in spite of sometimes hanging right; probably made effort earlier than ideal last time; is closely related to Subjectivist and Sir Ron Priestley so perhaps moving up to 1m6f will eke out a bit more; blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Scored on AW in 2021 and 2022; missed last year but he's not been beaten far in two runs on Polytrack (1m4f/2m) this spring after a long absence; still lightly raced on turf and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip.
