Form & Verdict
Made a successful hurdles/stable debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December (first two clear), but finished a tailed-off last of six finishers behind East India Dock in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) the following month; back in calmer waters here and, being a 2m winner on the Flat, this longer trip should suit; major player.

Returned to Flat with short-priced wins (2m, good) at Ascot and Chester, leading over 2f out; firmly in command last time and looks well treated under a 5lb penalty; well beaten in two maidens here in 2023 but a close second in Polytrack handicap in 2025, and that's the sum of his AW record; hitting new heights on turf and a huge player if he's as effective on this surface.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise over hurdles in France and when placed in his last two starts, at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) and in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m, good to soft); future may lie in handicaps, but he still holds each-way claims in this field.

Heavy-ground 2m wins here the last twice, and although the latter represented no further improvement on RPRs he was value for further than 2l having walked through the last; untried over this far and 7lb rise demands a career-best, but clearly in the heart to go close once more.

Two hurdle wins late last year and he's held his form pretty well in that discipline, last seen six weeks ago; his last Flat race was in 2024 for his former yard and peak form that year (1m6f win) suggests this is a realistic mark.

Sole defeat in her last four races came at the hands of a progressive horse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); shrugged aside that minor blip with a workmanlike win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); 3lb rise isn't the end of the world.
