Yet to win over hurdles but was hot on the heels of Baby Sham and Scudamore at Fakenham before finishing second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); has been front-running and can give another bold bid around here.

Came good with clearcut win at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) in June and was very close second in quite valuable contest at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; good claims if judged on that evidence but needs to bounce back from a poor run a fortnight ago.

Edged out Scudamore to get off the mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good; all out) and wasn't beaten all that far under a penalty next time; 2lb lower for this and can go well.

Won twice over hurdles in spring 2023 (2m4f/3m2f) but has lost her way in this sphere and, although she made the frame on the Flat in July, she makes only limited appeal from 11lb out of the weights here.

Form & Verdict
Came into a C&D maiden last month as a 17-race maiden over hurdles (AW winner) but he won that narrowly (left ahead at the last) and followed up without much fuss in a Fontwell handicap (3m2f, good to firm); only 5lb higher despite the penalty and something has clicked.

Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood.

Just 1-17 over hurdles but runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last month after a break and his lesser effort at Warwick 16 days later can be excused by the soft ground; conditions set to suit today; firmly in calculations.

Just 1-16 over hurdles and the forecast soft ground poses a question, but he returned to form when second at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and can be in the mix if backing up that performance.
