Tailed off on hurdling debut but different story over C&D this month (in tongue-strap for first time) when beating several of these; 50-1 but no fluke about the win and followed up in Wolverhampton AW contest last Saturday; penalty for the course success but still strongly considered.

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here.

Resurgent 5yo who was won twice over C&D in his last five starts and he went close behind an all-the-way winner here when last seen in November; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's still lightly raced on AW; big player.

Form & Verdict
Finished second in three of five starts for Sir Michael Stoute; beaten favourite (well below par) on her stable debut at Southwell in January but she ran right up to her best when fourth of eight at Kempton 17 days ago (1m4f); this is slightly weaker and she could still have a bigger run in her.

Close third on 1m handicap debut for Clive Cox last spring but left that stable after disappointing 1m2f run the following month and bled from the nose when switched to hurdling in November; back from another break today; lightly raced but considered only if strong in the betting; tongue-tie fitted.
