Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here.

Won a 1m6f AW handicap off 1lb higher on his yard debut in November 2022; better known as a quite useful handicap hurdler since but he hasn't been seen since finishing a creditable third at Perth in August 2024; chance he'll be using this as a prep ahead of a return to hurdles but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.
