Form & Verdict
Absent since Southwell success (1m4f; second run for new yard) in April when taking AW record to 2-16; ran creditably in sole 1m6f attempt; she's 2-2 in handicaps (good/soft) on turf, both in 2023, including a Ffos Las win; interesting returned to this sphere.

6yo who's never been better, with two ready 1m4f wins for new yard this year and good efforts to be placed on last two outings; has had just one race on soft (none on heavy) but won it, in 2023; needs a second look.

Seemed to need the run in hurdles contest here this month on stable debut and return from a year's absence; 0-7 on Flat and hasn't raced under this code for four years; not sure what to expect.

Triple hurdle winner at around 2m but last success was 17 months ago and he was a remote second on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good; 25-1) last month; looks worth another try at this trip but he needs to leave that latest form behind.

Didn't run badly over hurdles here on this month's stable debut but was well beaten on the Flat here (1m6f, good to soft) eight days ago and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance.

Four AW wins; capable of going well, having finished second in both C&D attempts, but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-20 on turf; below best in his two outings this season.

Won twice in small fields at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m) this summer and creditable fourth at Goodwood 13 days ago; placed twice on soft but has a poor record on heavy, including penultimate start, which clouds his each-way claims.

Has form figures of 122, all over 11.5f, this term; posted a career-best RPR at Windsor (good to firm) most recently, keeping on; 2-2 at Ffos Las, both wins over 1m2f last summer; respected back here, assuming he stays the new trip.
