Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride.

Pounced late at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2025; steadily working back after a lengthy absence, with his Uttoxeter third (2m4f) last time a creditable effort; stamina reserves untested over 3m.

Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now.

Displayed huge improvement when 80-1 second in C&D (good) novice in October, her third start over hurdles; raced too freely and was pulled up after weakening quickly in handicap here (2m4f, good to soft) the following month but significant positives can sill be taken from that run; drops back in trip today, having had wind surgery; a possible if fully tuned up.

Benefited from the drop back to 2m and first-time cheekpieces when scoring over C&D in April but never travelled with the same zest when returned here the following month; soft ground a possible excuse that day and she is not without claims if rediscovering that earlier form.
