T: Neil Mulholland

At the eighth attempt she comfortably opened her account as a chaser over C&D in early June and then defied a penalty at Fontwell (3m2f, good), though that was harder work in a four-runner race; 3lb higher this time but unlikely to be far away.

Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected.

Form & Verdict
Point and dual bumper winner in 2025; runner-up in two 2m7f novice hurdles in October but pulled up on handicap debut the following month and has offered little in two runs this spring since a break, including when beaten 24l on last month's chase debut; probably on a workable mark but needs the cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Remote third to Gata Ban here in June when in this headgear combination for the first time (retained since) but he won narrowly on his return visit and nearly followed up a month ago; 4lb higher than for that defeat but this lightly raced gelding has since had a wind operation.
