Hasn't won since August 2022 for previous yard; has been knocking on the door recently, third at Gowran Park (9.5f, good) this month and second at York on Saturday; still to prove she stays this far on the Flat.

0-7 over hurdles and runner-up five times; however, she knows how to win on the Flat (handles a variety of ground) and holds leading form claims on hurdle form such as her close second at Galway (2m, yielding) three weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Maiden on the Flat for Richard Hannon; however, has won a couple of times over hurdles recently for new yard; may well be a blot on the handicap back under this code and the booking of Tom Marquand is a plus.

Ex-Richard Hannon; made it 2-4 over hurdles when well on top late on at Ffos Las (2m, good; handicap debut) and has since finished second back on the Flat; 8lb rise for last time asks a question of him but this 4yo is improving.

Running well at present; made all at Ayr (1m5f, good) in April with a first-time tongue-tie fitted; adopted same tactics until headed inside the final furlongs when second at Hamilton (1m5f, soft) last month and looks sure to go close.

Four of his five wins have come in the autumn, latterly at his beloved Ayr early last month; has never been the most consistent, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him bounce back from his latest blowout, but others seem more likely.

Not yet off the mark but he's gone close on his last two starts and he came from well back to go close over C&D last week, the pair well clear; has every chance off the same mark.
