Changed hands for £13,000 after disappointing chase run for Tom Symonds in May but reverts to hurdling on a workable mark for this stable debut and it will be very interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her.

Pulled up when warm favourite for Newton Abbot chase on stable debut in July and switches back to hurdling with a point to prove, but he's very well handicapped on some of his form for Rose Dobbin and there's still a good chance he'll come good for Olly Murphy soon.
