Won on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and improved again to follow up at Bangor (2m7f, soft); this is a tougher test of her credentials but she's clearly highly progressive for her top yard.

Third in sole bumper (2m, good to soft) and fifth/sixth on her three hurdle starts (2m/2m3f, good/good to soft), without seriously threatening; her pedigree suggests this trip will be a good fit and she's open to improvement for her top yard on handicap debut; one to be interested in.

Won twice over C&D in 2023-24 season and ran well when fourth over C&D in February but this 12yo is far too inconsistent to rely upon nowadays, and has been absent since two heavy defeats in the spring.

J: Sean Bowen

2m7f maiden hurdle winner here (good) and overall Worcester record reads 2531; this shorter trip is likely still manageable here, although he was below form at sharp Southwell over nearly 2m5f on chasing debut last time (beaten 19l); fair claims off 2lb lower; cheekpieces go on.

Just 1-12 over hurdles and ran poorly when upped to 3m2f at Perth last month; makes chasing debut from a workable mark, though, and his Irish point win in 2024 bodes well for his prospects over fences.
