Sole chase win came at this track in September off 93 (2m, good); recent chase runs do not provide huge encouragement and both her wins have come at shorter than this; in saying that, the handicapper is giving her a chance. |

Hurdles winner at this track in 2022 and also won a 2m Tramore handicap chase last season (good) off 3lb higher; beaten 21l here earlier this month in a race won by Crowsatedappletart (2m3f, good); needs to bounce back to form but handicapper giving her a chance. |

Both wins on heavy, latterly a 2m chase at Leicester in February; creditable third at Plumpton next time but didn't jump well when remote fourth over 2m5f here (good to soft) four weeks ago; on the back of that the cheekpieces he's worn on his last five outings are replaced by a first-time visor. |

The ground was heavy for his hurdle win in Ireland (2m3f) and when scoring by 8l at Leicester two runs ago (2m), opening his chase account after wind surgery; ran okay off this 7lb higher mark at Plumpton (soft) latest but drying conditions might not be favourable. |
