Form & Verdict
Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but only one win since 2017; five runs over hurdles for current yard, the pick being his third at Stratford when last seen in May, when finishing well; possibilities on that and market signals could prove interesting; first runner for yard partnership.

Maiden after six starts; unplaced in the first five but attracted support ahead of this month's C&D outing, when she was unfortunate not to win (denied a clear run on more than once occasion before finishing strongly); compensation could await from 1lb out of the handicap

Won a mares' handicap at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April by just over 7l off 7lb lower; bit disappointing since until second of 14 at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month after a summer break, so she's back in calculations.

Four wins overall, all on good ground and both of those over hurdles were at Uttoxeter in July 2021, latterly in this race; last two runs have been in the same Plumpton handicap in May 12 months apart, finishing runner-up and fourth; case can be made but others bring more persuasive recent evidence.
