Bought for 135,000euros after easily winning an Irish point last April; 5-2 favourite when pulled up on hurdling debut but 33-1 when suffering the same fate last time; perhaps the wind surgery/tongue-tie will help.

Easily won an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in April and was sold for 135,000euros later that month; it's still very early days under rules but he was pulled up on his hurdle debut at Worcester (2m4f, soft; 5-2 favourite) in October and he's hard to fancy on the back of that.

AW bumper winner last season; has made very underwhelming start to her hurdling career this winter, with last month's Uttoxeter fourth (2m, good to soft) coming in a very modest race, but she makes her handicap debut off a lowly mark and could have untapped potential over this trip.
