Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark.

Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner at 1m5f and 1m4f (good to firm and good) and he ran well on the AW in September; yet to make an impact in six hurdle runs and may not be that well treated on handicap hurdle/stable debut, but he has the assistance of Sean Bowen and conditions should be fine.

Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high.
