Ran respectably over 2m4f at Perth last month in a race she'd won a year earlier; capable of being involved but the return to 3m presents a question mark.

Longstanding maiden who was soundly beaten at Newcastle last time in a first-time hood (retained); however, he's run pretty well on both previous visits to Musselburgh and the tongue-tie is back on today, which he wore when a fair fourth over C&D (good to soft) in November; interesting contender.

Flattered to deceive on a few occasions over hurdles and doesn't seem to see his races out; again weakened to be fourth on last month's chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good); this longer trip may prove beneficial and he has dropped to a workable mark; each-way player.
