In new yard after winning a Sligo claiming hurdle for Willie Mullins last time, albeit she was very well treated by the weights that day; has chase experience but needs to do more.

With a top yard but yet to add to her 2023 maiden hurdle win in seven starts since, the last three over fences; best treated by race conditions if she runs to her rating of 116 but hard to be massively confident she will.

Form & Verdict
Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option.

Form: 8-2P14

W: 10st 13lb

5 yo Colt

OR: 104

Form & Verdict
Has rather mixed record for new stable since the spring but that spell includes wins over hurdles (2m4f, good) and on the Flat; drops into plating company after very respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) a week ago and the forecast quicker ground ought to suit him better here.

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed.

Form & Verdict
Well held after going off too hard on penultimate outing but generally in good form this year; went down fighting when close second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago; likely to make another bold bid from the front.
