1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims.

5yo who made it 2-7 over hurdles when scoring in a first-time visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; that was by a nose but he hit a personal best with that success and is still unexposed at staying trips; respected up 4lb.

Lightly raced since winning 2m juvenile hurdle here in summer 2024; kept on for very respectable third of five over C&D (good) 11 days ago, and remains unexposed over this trip, but today's race is more competitive; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor.

Only win came in this race 12 months ago off 1lb lower and she returns on the back of a 5l defeat three weeks ago; should run well, provided she takes to the new blinkers.

Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way.

Form & Verdict
1-11 in Irish points; sold to join current yard for £2,000 in March and finished last of six on British debut, back over hurdles, at Taunton (2m3f, good; 125-1) in April; an altogether different proposition when stepped up in trip over fences when skating up here (3m2f, good; 28-1) nine days ago in cheekpieces (retained); has the same mark today back over hurdles and is a fascinating contender.

T: Alexandra Dunn

Ex-Irish pointer; benefited from the step up to this trip when winning by 8l here in early June and a slow pace back over hurdles found him out three weeks ago, though didn't run badly; 8lb higher than for both those runs but still has higher hopes than some in here.

Record of only 1-11 in points and is far from solid on rules form (three attempts); however, may show the benefit of switching to handicap level off a modest mark.
