Form & Verdict

Bids to completes a hat-trick after clearcut 2m4f wins at Sedgefield (good to soft) and Market Rasen (good) this year; quite closely matched on the figures with the other dual hurdle winner in this line-up, Ruby Island, and ought to be right in the thick of things.

Form & Verdict

Made the frame in Listed Cheltenham bumper in in November (good ground) and is 2-2 since switched to hurdles, the wins gained over 2m here and at Wetherby (both good to soft); open to improvement over today's longer trip and a very obvious contender.

Form & Verdict

Won good-ground Uttoxeter bumper on debut in September and was respectable seventh when upped to Listed grade at Cheltenham (good) in November; over 8l behind Ruby Island on latter occasion but is 12lb better off with her here and could have a say on today's hurdling debut.
