Form & Verdict
Not beaten far when fourth at Exeter on last month's hunter chase debut and that was sandwiched between two emphatic pointing wins; probably wouldn't want the ground quicker than good but a leading candidate on form.

Landed maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May 2023 and a prolific winner in points with 12 wins in that sphere; beat two rivals in a point at Stafford Cross 13 days ago and she should go close.

Cartmel maiden hunter winner two years ago at this trip, and largely irresistible in points since (has won last six, all under Anna Johnston); small bit to find with Captain Tommy on their March Ludlow clash, but in better heart than that one now and recent Cheltenham third was a tidy run.

Runner-up at Southwell (2m, good) last November and his half-brother Mance Rayder has won at up to 3m4f; however, no threat when fifth over 2m the last twice and the suitability of this step up in trip is questionable.
