Form & Verdict
Unplaced when just 2-1 for last month's Flat handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, AW) but justified favouritism in good style at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) subsequently; did it in good style and she still appeals as being well treated under a 4lb penalty, especially in view of her hurdling ability.

Won three in a row in a visor this spring (1m6f-2m1f, good to firm/good) but she's been well held in last three runs and was a long way behind An Bradan Feasa at Lingfield 13 days ago; visor returns and blinkers are removed.

Completed a top-of-the-ground hat-trick this year (1m6f-2m1f) and remains in good form, as a tactical race wouldn't have suited at Yarmouth and she was never ideally positioned after starting slowly last time (finished 8.5l behind the winner); another to consider.

Form & Verdict
The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May.
