Usually ridden by Archie Young, including for the two front-running 1m4f wins at Hamilton in her last four starts; the first win was on soft ground but she was well beaten with that same trip/ground there on latest outing; mixed messages and needs a personal best.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Went close in a 2m1f course handicap in June and ran respectably when third the following month, but she's now 0-14 over hurdles and has a lesser effort to forgive last time; stamina to prove over the furthest she's been, although pedigree offers some hope.

Went close in low-grade C&D (good) handicap in June and didn't run badly when third of five over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but is 0-13 over hurdles now and faces tough task at these weights.

12-race maiden over hurdles but has some solid placed form, most recently when a neck second over C&D in June (Linden Line 1l back in third); disappointed next time and was comfortably held in a C&D maiden under James Robottom last time, but she's a major threat if returning to her best.

Form & Verdict
Last won in April 2022 but she's been placed on most starts this season, runner-up over 2m on latest; chief worry is the lack of impact in her four races on soft ground.

Runner-up on this card last year (1m4f, soft) on his only run at Catterick and 1m5f with heavy ground at Ayr nine days ago saw him register his second win from 27 races, going on 6f out; back up 2lb but respected, with this first attempt beyond 1m5f looking a viable option.

Moving up to 1m4f with cheekpieces and tongue-tie worked well last winter on AW; off since March and more to prove on turf, although he does have soft-ground form; also a new trip; interesting if strong in the betting.
