Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride.

Won twice last October (1m5f/2m, heavy) and returned to winning ways in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Ayr (1m5f, good) last time; he's also effective here and can play another leading role up just 2lb.

Wide-margin course win on her handicap debut last September (1m4f, soft); best run since when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (1m5f, soft); 2m likely to be in range but her three best efforts have been on soft ground and she's unlikely to get that here.

Mixed form across her three Flat starts (1m2f/1m4f, soft/AW) and she needs to improve upon that on today's handicap debut; however, she's in excellent hands and was third in a Listed bumper (2m, good to soft) last December; has travelled from Newmarket and no surprise to see a big step forward.

Ran for Sir Mark Prescott in three bumpers and eight Flat races, all without winning; Uttoxeter third (2m) over hurdles latest can't be that convincing given that she was beaten 25l, but it was the best of her three runs for this yard and this is her handicap hurdle debut over a new trip.
