Won two of her first three starts, followed by minor honours in her two handicaps; sole turf start was on good to firm (penultimate outing); needs improvement on this step up from 1m but, in a mixed pedigree for stamina, the sire gives some hope that it will suit.

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance.

Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara in 2024 (two wins) but last season's hurdling form for Donald McCain was underwhelming; ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when third of five on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April but has been well beaten on the Flat since; improvement required.

9st 6lb

J: William Buick

T: Alan King

Returned to Flat with short-priced wins (2m, good) at Ascot and Chester, leading over 2f out; firmly in command last time and looks well treated under a 5lb penalty; well beaten in two maidens here in 2023 but a close second in Polytrack handicap in 2025, and that's the sum of his AW record; hitting new heights on turf and a huge player if he's as effective on this surface.
