Bumper and three-time hurdle winner when trained by Dan Skelton but has not shown much for new stable this year (three runs), and can't really blame the slow ground; sports refitted cheekpieces today; needs to turn a corner.

Won a Kelso bumper when trained by Gordon Elliott and second at Cartmel in her one start for Fergal O'Brien; fair third over 2m here last month on stable debut and won't be far away with a repeat; tongue-tie left off following wind surgery.
