Easy win on debut (1m4f, AW) and made it 2-2 when getting up late to beat subsequent Ribblesdale winner Port Fairy in the Listed Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, good) in May; well-beaten seventh in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) last time but she retains potential and is not written off.

Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed.

2-15 over hurdles; winless this campaign but it started quite well and the third at Sandown in December was in a first-time visor that now returns having been missing the last twice; on a fair mark if factoring in Murray Dodd's claim; could stage a revival.

Signs of ability without posing a serious threat at Chelmsford (1m2f) and here (9.4f) towards the end of 2023; this sort of distance should be within his range but he'll probably be of more interest when handicapping.

Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback.
