Had further wind surgery prior to Stratford success (2m2f, soft) last time, beating a solid yardstick in clearcut fashion and taking hurdles record to 2-3; improving in this sphere and looks one to consider.

Went very close to getting off the mark on final Flat start in October (1m5f, AW) and went one better on hurdle/stable debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) last month; now carries a penalty against males but she could have more to offer in this code; possible player.

Often leads; unbeaten 3-3 on the AW but his most recent Flat win came on turf, at Sandown (1m6f, good) last July; was all the better for a break when going close at Lingfield (1m6f, good to firm) this month and seemed to handle good to soft ground over hurdles; thereabouts.

Landed a couple of sellers on the Flat for William Haggas last August/September; pulled his chance away in a first-time hood (retained) on his stable/hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft; 100-30) in November; in good hands and should know more this time.

Runner-up over hurdles in May and took his record to 2-2 on the AW when making all at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, pulling clear with one who has since finished second in a Listed race; has now won his last three starts on the Flat and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold bid.

His autumn progress on the Flat for George Boughey came at an ordinary level but he won three times (1m4f/2m) and there's every chance he'll make a hurdler; not ruled out on first run since changing hands for 20,000gns.

No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player.
