Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations.

Fair 1m2f Flat scorer; progressing really well in this sphere and she cosily got off the mark over 2m2f here two weeks ago; up 3lb but this strong-travelling sort is capable of better still; leading claims.

Hasn't always looked entirely convincing in a finish but he's only raced six times and has twice gone close at this track, in novice and handicap company; danger to all if fitness isn't an issue.

In good form at present, following up last month's Plumpton win (2m, good) with a wide-margin C&D success on Friday; penalised for that, and this a stronger race, but one to consider.

0-7 but he's reached the frame on all four visits here, going close to shedding his maiden tag on two occasions during 2024 and spring 2025; made an encouraging return from an 11-month absence when second over 2m2f here last month and, nudged up 1lb, remains a strong contender dropped in trip.

Promising at about 1m2f for Ralph Beckett in his youth; only seen twice since July 2023, pulled up over hurdles (reportedly made a noise) for Harriet Dickin in September 2024 and down the field over 1m3f here on stable debut five weeks ago; up in trip with headgear back on; risky.
