Form & Verdict
Closely related to a modest hurdle winner; touched off in 11.6f handicap (good to firm) on penultimate start and ran creditably in cheekpieces over 1m2f on latest, his best results (fair form) in six Flat races for Ollie Sangster; no fitness worries and not dismissed.

Classy Flat pedigree; fair form in two of his eight Flat races, firstly on good to firm and most recently when off the mark in AW handicap over 1m4f two weeks ago in a first-time visor; one to consider.

0-10 on the Flat in Ireland and 0-3 for current yard but she was second twice, including in a 1m2f handicap on penultimate outing; fair form at her best and she'd be a player if that is transferred to hurdles.

Poor Flat form (three runs) and tailed off behind Play Pretend on hurdle debut at Market Rasen; 11l third from the front at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) gives a lot more hope, albeit just over 5l behind Mill Street.

Beaten under 3l in two of his four Flat races at about 1m in USA (on firm ground); favourite for British/hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) 19 days ago and put up a bold show to be second of 11; serious claims.

Second in a Brighton maiden (7f, good) last season, when with Harry Eustace; below par in two starts for Dan Skelton and when last at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on her handicap and stable debut; drops 5lb; more needed.
