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.

J: Brian Hayes

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.

Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden.

Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here.

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.

Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat.

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.
