Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago.

Form & Verdict
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form.

Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; beaten favourite but bettered that winning RPR when second (well clear of rest) at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; gets the vote.

Well handicapped on her Ripon win (2m, good to firm) last August but she's not made an impact in six runs this season; wasn't far behind Le Rouge Chinois at Yarmouth (1m6f) last time but she needs to find more back up in trip.

An infrequent winner but hasn't had a lot of racing since defying an 8lb higher mark over 2m at Ripon last August (good to firm); ran poorly when tried in blinkers once before (usually sports cheekpieces); Saffie Osborne rides but this filly has some questions to answer at present.
