Well beaten, at best, over hurdles on last three starts; competitive judged on best 2025 Flat form but that was on turf, whereas he faces a stiff task judged on his AW record (0-10 off significantly lower marks).

Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable.

Three turf wins over about 1m4f last May-August and she scored again at this trip, leading over 1f out and hanging on by a short head, at Lingfield five weeks ago after nearly six months off; back up 3lb but effective at this track too and probably ready for another bold show.

Multiple winner who has finished fourth and first in two C&D starts, latterly when making all last August (good to firm); has added two more wins since, on turf and AW, most recently in February, and while not obviously ahead of her mark she shouldn't be far away.
