Never dangerous on last month's stable debut and now 0-26 under all codes but is well handicapped on some of last year's form for Mark Usher and seems versatile regarding ground; wears first-time cheekpieces today; may yet come good for Fergal O'Brien.

0-25 Flat and hurdling, all for Mark Usher except debut; off since September and although bits of 2024 form give her an each-way chance, they were over shorter; best Flat run last year was over 2m, so perhaps sufficient stamina can come to the fore on this first run for Fergal O'Brien.

Last year's winner (from 4lb higher); patchy form this year, with respectable efforts (Kempton) interspersed with weak finishes elsewhere; probably holds a similar chance to Endofastorm based on their recent C&D clash; any sign of market support would offer encouragement.
