Form & Verdict
0-6; just a modest handicap debut at Sandown in September but she had shown promise in maiden company previously and was a persistent third at Wolverhampton (extended 1m1f) in October; this stiffer test can suit and Oisin Murphy (2-9 for trainer) is booked; hood refitted.

Won in good style on last season's reappearance outing (1m2f, good) but was not in the same form on any of her five subsequent runs last year and was safely held when back in action in April; off for another 75 days since and not yet proven over this far; needs to get career back on track.

Hurdle winner in Ireland during 2022 who has been running well on the AW of late and although 0-17 on the Flat he's 7lb lower than his latest turf run, when third on this course (1m4f) last July; thereabouts again.

Has poor 1-53 strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022, and was soundly beaten on both outings this year (11.4f/1m2f); might be perked up by the refitted blinkers, though, and Billy Loughnane is a good booking.

Found his feet for refitting of blinkers and return to 1m2f in the second half of 2024, winning over C&D (good) and, after a break, at Brighton (good to soft); never on his game for either of his subsequent starts but it could be a different story back here for yard that won this in 2021.
