Displayed promise in bumpers in the 2022-23 season and defied a long absence to win on last month's hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, good); further improvement is needed if he's to win under a penalty today but he's not ruled out.

Useful on the Flat and she won in good style on hurdle debut at Down Royal (2m1f, good) in August; beaten at 10-11 when runner-up at Warwick (2m, good to soft) last time and she's perhaps not straightforward, but the first-time hood could help and this may prove to be an excellent opportunity.
