Prominent to a point before fading out of contention and finishing fifth of seven at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft); at odds of 4-1, it's reasonable to presume that better was expected of her.

Stayed on nicely for third over 1m at Kempton and travelled the best only to be found wanting when it mattered at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft); sets the standard and should improve some more.

Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider.

Best on the Flat at around 1m2f and his two wins over hurdles came over 2m round undemanding courses; stamina would be a concern then for a yard also responsible for Aggagio and Galactic Jack.

Low-mileage 4yo; kept on for very respectable third of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) a year ago and can be excused his defeat on heavy turf in May but has fitness to prove after eight-month absence; others have more pressing claims.
