Hard to know what to make of her debut effort (close third of three at a big price) but she backed it up when a clear second upped to this trip latest (both on soft); is related to winners on fast surfaces and about sets the standard.

Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade.

Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade.

Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect.

Stable not noted for newcomers, so it spoke loud that he was able to make a winning debut (Tapeta) early last month (1m4f); the two market leaders that night have done nothing for the effort since, though, and he'll need to improve under a penalty.

Won four times on fast ground last summer, two of them over C&D; possible to make excuses for most of his runs since (the latest on ground slower than ideal and after 164 days off) and this race, under optimal conditions, should be a better guide as to just where he stands at present.
