Form & Verdict
Fair Flat maiden (best RPR 72) who has found a new calling over hurdles, setting to work with a will when making a successful debut at Wetherby before having a straightforward task at Stratford (both about 2m, good) this month; has the useful 4yo allowance but also a big penalty; looks promising.

Beaten favourite over C&D this month but Miss Maverick did get first run on him and he has a 5lb pull on the winner now; remains relatively unexposed over this far.

Completed a four-timer on his first four starts in this sphere at around 2m; held his form in defeat until weakening right out of it when 40-1 at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) last month; the same distance is being persevered with but he's down in class and not out of this.

T: Olly Murphy

Solid novice hurdler at 2m from last spring to autumn, completing a four-timer (on good ground) prior to holding his form, running-on sixth in Grade 2 at Cheltenham the final occasion; attractively weighed and has possibilities with this new trip worth exploring.

Form & Verdict
Three Flat wins in Germany; up and down in Britain but was involved in two close finishes in 2024 (best RPR 87); 2-2 over hurdles for new yard, having it pretty much her own way at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) recently; Sir Galahad will provide much more of a test but it looks tight between them.

Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience.
