Promising in bumpers last season and won four-runner novice hurdle by 19l at Aintree (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; the value of that recent form is open to question (short-odds favourite disappointed) but she still commands respect.

Bumper/hurdle winner; made Flat debut in April and she's going the right way, second on her handicap debut at Haydock (11.5f) in July before winning at Newmarket six weeks ago (1m4f, good to soft; made all); other pace influences on show but a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond her.

Just did enough to win low-grade handicap chase at Warwick (2m, soft) in March 2023; subsequent chasing form has been somewhat disappointing but he reverts to hurdling in a pretty thin race and has each-way claims.
