Form & Verdict
Sole win came in a 1m AW novice in 2022 but she's run respectably over 1m6f at Yarmouth (soft) and Nottingham (good) in her last two starts; this new trip looks worth exploring and she has possibilities off a sliding mark; hood reapplied.

Placed four times over hurdles this year and she wasn't beaten far back on the Flat here (1m6f, good to soft) last Wednesday; rallied in the closing stages of that race and she's not ruled out back up in trip; one of three runners for the yard.

Just one win from 22 starts but he's finished runner-up at Ripon (2m, good) and Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in his last two runs; probably doesn't have much margin for error off this mark but he's versatile ground-wise and should go well again.

Successful three times over 2m (on AW/turf) for previous yard; good record of 232242 for new stable since December and that latest second was a close call at Pontefract (2m1f, good) last month; only 1lb higher here and he has leading claims.
