Form & Verdict
Continued to run well since justifying favouritism at Salisbury (1m2f, classified) late last month, taking the step up in trip (1m4f-1m6f) in her stride; raised a further 3lb since her latest second at Sandown, although Billy Loughnane's claim does effectively negate that rise.

Won a Salisbury classified (1m2f, good to firm) late last month and runner-up in handicaps on either side, the latest when odds on with the step up to 1m4f at Thirsk; 1m6f is plausible given that display and her sire.

Form & Verdict
Broke his duck at the eighth attempt when landing the odds over C&D (good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; followed up under a penalty at Yarmouth (1m3.5f) and steps up in grade off a 7lb higher mark; key player given steady improvement for headgear.

Runner-up off 1lb lower on last Flat appearance, at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) last September; both starts this year have come over fences, a ready winner at Kempton (2m4f, good) in early May; three of his five Flat wins have come here (1m6f) on fast ground; capable.

Lightly raced on AW, but did demonstrate ability when runner-up in a Lingfield maiden (1m); only fourth when sent off favourite for turf/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago, the race yielding winners; interesting over this longer trip.

Hasn't found the expected improvement since sent down the handicap route and dropped out to be in rear last time at Chelmsford (1m2f); had been running over even further so reverting to about 1m is a change in direction.

Comfortably held in two small-field handicaps (1m4f/1m5f) when favourite for both; has dropped only 3lb for his troubles but drops back in distance and perhaps the AW is more his scene (went close in a Polytrack maiden).

Ran fairly well when fourth on last two hurdling starts at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but it's over two years since his last win in that sphere and this Flat-bred 9yo has left it late in the day to begin his chasing career.

Dual 2m5f hurdle winner here in summer 2023 but has largely struggled since; however, he took a good step forward with a tongue-tie added when fourth over C&D last month dropped to this level; well treated on best form and has possibilities, especially if recent wind surgery has a positive effect.

Yet to add to his two 2m5f novice hurdle wins here in summer 2023 and returned from a break with two very disappointing runs last month; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference.
