Her only win came in a beginners chase at Sligo in 2023; off the track for a year but two solid runs in a Fairyhouse handicap chase and behind Cast A Spell in a Cork handicap hurdle; 1lb wrong and others looks more likely.

Placed in three of his five starts over hurdles, beaten favourite on four occasions; profile raises doubts but he finished second in a point-to-point won by Stellar Story who won two bumpers for Gordon Elliott last season; tongue-tie and the switch to chasing may do the trick now.

Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form.

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected.
