Four Flat wins in a row prior to completing five-timer on hurdle debut in Jersey in June 2024; following a long absence she's been handed some tough tasks this season in her first three chases, and she has far more realistic claims now in a handicap on her second hurdle start; interesting.

Three of his four wins have come here, including two over this trip; his last win was one year ago but he's down the weights and close third of seven to Shadowfax at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) on penultimate start; also on the premises over C&D on latest, so has place claims.

Tried blinkers and cheekpieces in Ireland, rearing at the start on final outing there; changed hands and left Sheila Lavery before justifying favouritism with a late bid in 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) six weeks ago; this trip is new territory but he's been raised just 3lb and looks a leading player now he's made the breakthrough.

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do.

Won four times for David O'Meara last year (1m6f-2m) but has been out of form for new stable this season and is not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip; considered only if lively in the betting.
