Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong.

Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look.

Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected.
