Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when narrowly beating a subsequent winner last month; only fifth of eight at Kempton on Wednesday but that was at 2m in a Class 5 and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip/grade.

Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways lately, scoring at Chelmsford (1m6f; in blinkers) and Lingfield (2m; in cheekpieces), dictating a steady pace latterly; 2lb higher now but still nicely weighted on historic form so should give another positive showing.

Regressive 6yo who has struggled in five hurdle runs this year and was well held back on the Flat in a classified event here (1m4f, AW) 12 days ago; this step back up in trip should suit but losing run is up to 20 and all of his three wins have been on AW; others preferred.
