Won twice over fences last year for Rebecca Menzies but four lesser runs since have seen him slip down to his last winning mark; has switched stables since his last run in March and any significant move in the market should be noted.

Form & Verdict
Third of 12 on debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last May, having been shuffled right back towards rear of the field when short of room on home turn; 7-2 and made most at Stratford (2m, good) in June but she jinked left and went through the rails over 3f out; should be a big player if she avoids mishaps.

Best bumper form on good ground and conditions were good to soft when showing promise on hurdling debut at Hereford (2m5f; beaten just under 10l); it was her second below-par run on soft last time.

Badly hampered when third on debut at Newton Abbot in May 2022 and she led when running out at Stratford (again on good) that June; avoided mishaps at Sedgefield (soft) last January in another bumper but that performance was underwhelming; mixed messages but worth a second look.
