Six-race maiden but she's shown promise with her placed efforts in 2m handicaps in last two runs, including on heavy at Nottingham (stable debut) 14 days ago; should have more to offer as a stayer and she's in the mix.

Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better.

Won over hurdles at Exeter (2m2f, dead-heat) in March and he has plenty of form on the Flat including over 1m6f here last spring; hard to rule out a good run back from a break but he's 1-24 under both codes and others are more persuasive.
