Form & Verdict
Ex-Andre Fabre; fair form on the Flat; two from two over jumps, winning a Plumpton maiden hurdle (2m, good) and a novice hurdle at Kelso (2m, good; Veer 2.75l back in third); hasn't always looked totally straightforward but should go well again.

Big improver over hurdles and he made it 5-8 in that sphere when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good) two weeks ago; looks interesting off dangerous mark on the Flat and he won over 1m7f in France as a 3yo.

Solid hurdles strike-rate (4-7); seeks a hat-trick following wins at Huntingdon and Ludlow (both 2m, good; combined rise of 11lb); wouldn't want too much rain - good to soft would be fine - but otherwise holds a clear chance.

Just did enough to justify short odds at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May but found a 40-1 outsider too strong when warm favourite to follow up in modest race at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month; may still have potential but will need to up her game to overcome top weight on handicap debut.
