Suffered a couple of heavy defeats after a long absence but then went very close to a first chase win in first-time blinkers at Southwell (3m, soft) last time, with the winner running well since; remains on a competitive mark and is one to consider if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Tailed off at Chepstow three weeks ago after an absence and this 9yo needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's in top hands and is on a dangerous mark; not discounted with the step back up in trip a plus.

Three wins from off the pace last season (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); managed only fifth on last month's return at Haydock (3m, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller and made good headway from the rear on the final circuit; might come on for the run; interesting.

Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast.

Gifted a 2m4f Uttoxeter race two starts back (soft), and 3m was clearly too far last time; not wholly convincing, but his one win on merit came at this time of year in 2024 on good (2m4f); tongue-tie added.
