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.

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.
