3yo who has found some improvement since handicapping, off the mark with a strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f, good; acts on good to soft) on latest start; up 5lb but that win gave plenty of encouragement for 1m4f.

Won races at up to 1m4f for Kevin Ryan; has struggled badly over hurdles this year and was tailed off back on the Flat last time after wind surgery; a tongue-tie returns (no clear significance) with cheekpieces tried; lots to prove.

Three Flat wins during his time with Kevin Ryan, including beating Roland Garros in this race (good; also won on good to soft) off 3lb lower under Henry Callan 12 months ago; has struggled badly over hurdles for Lizzie Quinlan in 2026 so his hopes are pinned on a recent wind operation and a return to the Flat sparking a revival.

Ex-Irish; 12th race when she made the breakthrough in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) on Monday, produced with a steady run from mid-division to lead over 1f out and finish well on top; that was an apprentice event (ridden by Mohammed Tabti) for which she is unpenalised today; major claims if she's in the same form six days later.

Regular at this track, including for two wins last autumn (1m1f/1m4f) and when scoring by a head from the front under Archie Young 18 days ago (1m3f, heavy); going back up 3lb still leaves him 3lb below reappearance mark; having ground softer than good looks important to his cause.
