Form & Verdict

Absent since a below-par effort over C&D (good to soft) in December; has form figures of 112 on good ground and, with that in mind, could be set for a productive spring/summer campaign.

Dual good-ground novice winner in the spring; only fourth at Bangor (2m, soft) in October, after a break, but that form was very well advertised by the front pair this weekend and this filly could still have more to offer in handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful Flat racer who took well to hurdling last season and, having finished second in a Listed race, opened his account in this sphere with easy success in Chepstow maiden (2m, good) three weeks ago; obvious contender.
