Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles for this yard in October 2022 and second leg was over C&D (good to firm); placed several times on the Flat since and she returned from long absence with respectable effort at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; that was her first run since rejoining Fergal O'Brien and she looks interesting off dangerous mark back over hurdles.

Has a strike rate of 5-12 over hurdles but hasn't been seen since a below-par third at Ludlow in December; needs to raise her game to new heights having never won off a mark this high, but still commands respect.

Well beaten in latest handicap (March) and now 5lb higher but was a dual winner back in novice company this spring (2m/2m2f, good); evidently in good nick and has obvious claims in this small field.

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
All three hurdle wins have been on good to soft and latest was at Taunton (2m3f) last November; been lightly raced since then and he struggled on belated Flat debut at Royal Ascot (2m5f, good to firm) in June; this is more realistic back over jumps but he's still 6lb higher than for that last win and has bit to prove after another absence.

Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably.

Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear.

Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected.

Form & Verdict
Easy winner of a Class 6 event on the Flat at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in July; no impact in three hurdle runs but he returned to this sphere with a staying-on fourth at Stratford (2m, good) last month; this is more realistic on handicap hurdle debut and he needs watching in market.

Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky.
