Point winner, third in small-field bumpers at Down Royal and Ayr; raced too keenly on hurdling debut at Ayr and paid the penalty when weakening from the last; fair fifth at Down Royal last month; this race has greater depth.

No further successes since beating Batwomen by a neck in a Fontwell mares' novice hurdle in December 2023 (2m3f, heavy); mixed signals over fences of late as to whether this step up to 3m is needed, and cheekpieces wrought no improvement from her on one previous application.

Form & Verdict
Won a Class 2 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 7lb higher) in March 2025, but has failed to match that level of form since (0-9); wasn't beaten too far over C&D (Class 3; fourth of seven) three weeks ago, and a similar effort would give him a shout in this added tongue-tie; 2-10 for Alan Doyle.

He's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when 2l fifth of nine in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (good) in July; however, this 9yo is in a more competitive race today and will need a bigger performance if he's to post his first win since March 2025.

Form & Verdict
4-29, including a C&D win (from 2lb lower) at this two-day Perth fixture in 2025; has been competing over 3m recently, failing to get home when fourth to Suspected (beaten over 13l) here three weeks ago; dropping back in trip is in his favour; don't discount hastily.
