It remains to be seen what he is capable of on turf after just two novice events and a heavy-ground 1m handicap, all in 2023 (well held in each); trail has gone cold since an okay winter on Tapeta, however.

Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well.
