Has won two of her four chases and quite readily floored the odds-on favourite in a Listed novice at Chepstow three weeks ago (2m3f, good to firm; handles good but softer has looked troublesome); has something to find at these weights but with no fitness issues she's respected.

Headed here last month with much to prove but bounced back for a first handicap success by just under 3l (2m4f, good; raced prominently); 5lb higher with a different 7lb claimer enlisted and has to be considered.

Won a 2m6f maiden hurdle here in May 2024, his last run; has a long absence to overcome but has two point wins on his record so that will help on chasing debut; cheekpieces added.

Dual point winner who came good under rules with Downpatrick hurdle (2m6f, good) win in May 2024; returned from long absence with very encouraging third on chasing debut there (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August; remains unexposed over fences and over staying trips; interesting.
