Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up.

Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now.

Form & Verdict

Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences.

Form & Verdict
Points scorer but she failed to win over hurdles for Harry Derham and has offered little in a trio of runs sent over fences for her current yard, a well-held fifth of eight in 2m Ludlow handicap last month; others are preferred.

Best effort for current stable came when a well-held third at Taunton (2m2f, good) in March but her overall profile remains disappointing; the blinkers need to spark significant improvement.

Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today.
