Got off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles when showing improved form to score over C&D (good to soft) on her handicap debut last week; carries a 7lb penalty for that but she's unexposed and remains of interest.

Two wins at Carlisle in November 2024 (2m1f, soft/good to soft); mixed form since, including over fences; sound run back hurdling at Carlisle in March (2m1f, soft), but poor next time and has since had wind surgery; bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Soft-ground C&D winner in February, before form plateaued, with three further placed efforts at up to 2m4f; good record when fresh and he should be very competitive on his return, from an unchanged mark.

Bounced back quickly from last month's poor performance and took form to whole new level at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; first-time visor) three weeks ago, keeping on strongly to win readily by 6l; went up 7lb for that but must be considered in current mood.

Triple winner over hurdles at up to 2m3f, on slow ground; 3lb higher than the most recent of those, at Wetherby in February; badly out of sorts in two starts since, so has a bit to prove on his return from a break.

11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show.
