Form & Verdict
Went close in her first chase but jumping held her back in her next two; returned to hurdles for last three starts, outpaced before staying on again over Wetherby's extended 2m3f last time having previously run better at 3m, especially when second at Haydock; if she can find some fluency back chasing in the new headgear then she should run well.

Some long absences in his profile and pulled up in maiden hurdle last time after 417 days away; however, his best form doesn't read at all badly with a view to this mark and he should make a chaser (fell on debut in early 2023); wears first-time cheekpieces.
