On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away.

On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal.

From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added.

Thrice second on the Flat last year at up to 1m4f (soft, good) and again when last seen over hurdles (good), finding no extra close home; could well be the wind surgery helps her realise more of her undoubted potential, as well it needs to given a stiff opening mark.

Regressed this year on the Flat and now 0-9 in that scene; best efforts were at trips shy of 1m, so stamina could be iffy now sent hurdling.
