Justified favouritism at Perth in April (2m4f, good) on return from a long absence but fared nothing like so well at Market Rasen a month ago; she's consistent in the main and could bounce back; 5lb higher than for that recent win; non-runner at Newton Abbot yesterday.

Defied an absence to win over C&D (good) in April and bounced back from Market Rasen disappointment to win at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; showed promise on soft ground earlier in career; this progressive mare is a solid contender up 5lb for last time.

J: Mr T Walsh

Useful Flat racer who won a 2m maiden hurdle here in July and was close second over C&D (also on good) when upped in trip for last month's handicap debut; seemingly overlooked by Sean Bowen today but helps to give trainer Olly Murphy a good hand in this race.

Sole hurdles win came in a weak Worcester maiden (2m; 2-5 favourite) in August 2025; cautious on chase debut when 29l third of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good; Jet Of Dreams fourth) a fortnight ago; hood is now removed, so has the potential to do better.

Landed a maiden over hurdles on his stable debut at Worcester last August and has been generally consistent in that sphere over the summer; produced a lesser effort when beaten 33l at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and makes his chasing debut with hood back on; one to keep an eye on.
