Four juvenile wins in 2020 and gained her first success since when justifying support at Warwick three weeks ago, on return from five months off; 4lb rise of no concern if she can another step back in the right direction.

Came second off basement Flat mark on latest outing in January and is well handicapped for this return to hurdling but she's not as good as she was and has become inconsistent; others appeal more.

Both wins have been gained over C&D, the second on last month's stable debut, after a break; looked like he didn't stay 2m4f at Southwell next time and can be seriously considered.

All three hurdling runs last summer (for Ryan Potter) were at this track; won on debut and ran very well when second next time (both C&D) but well held in a handicap at 2m4f when last seen in August; tongue-strap missing on this first start for Laura Morgan; interesting and more so if backed.

Hurdles form (handicap winner over 2m4f-3m1f) does not look quite good enough in this higher grade and the form of his winning chase debut at Cartmel last July has been followed by heavy defeats in both starts since (ridden by this 10lb claimer on latest); others preferred.
