Form & Verdict
Off to a flying start in Exeter bumper (good to firm) and Warwick juvenile hurdle (good to soft), and she ran well when upped in class for Grade 2 juvenile at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago; has a bit to find with One Horse Town on that last run, but she met some trouble that day and she's unexposed; gets weight all round and not to be underestimated.

Developing into a useful filly and readily landed the Adonis (2m, good to soft; Grade 2) at Kempton most recently, taking record to 3-4; the class angle on handicap debut and has earned top weight; respected.

Merely pushed out to win an Exeter bumper (good to firm) and breezed clear for a successful hurdling debut at Warwick two months ago (2m, good to soft); in a lot deeper here but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and Jane Williams rates her highly; could be a player in receipt of weight from all her rivals.

1m4f winner on Flat; has taken well to hurdling, winning his first four races and running up to his best when 2l second to the unbeaten Maestro Conti in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago, headed only on run-in; successful over C&D; likely to give another good account of himself.

British raider from yard that had a Grade 1 winner here earlier this week; won first four starts over hurdles on varying ground; fine run when 2l behind Maestro Conti in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January (2m1f, soft); beaten 13l when runner up in another Grade 2 at Kempton; beaten 26l in the Triumph on latest; much more needed.

Often front-runner; won his first four hurdle races and placed in three better contests since; gave 2lb when 2l second to Maestro Conti in Grade 2 over C&D on penultimate outing, but the winner left the more positive impression; useful but his limitations are likely to be evident again.

Form & Verdict
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on.

1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish.

Progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding and bagged Listed honours at Ascot (1m6f, good to soft) on last appearance; sold for 600,000gns later in October; withdrawn at Newbury last weekend due to heavy ground; market mover for the Triumph and looks a very interesting hurdles prospect.

2-4 on the Flat in Ireland (including a win on yielding ground) and he won by a nose over C&D (good to soft) on New Year's Day on his hurdle/stable debut; 7lb worse off today with the reopposing runner-up Scarlet Moon and improvement is necessary, but entirely possible with his top trainer possessing a good record in this race (won it in 2023 and 2024).
