Has shown ability over hurdles but she's struggled in her last three runs including when pulled up in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last month; overall record is now 0-9 and others are more convincing.

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Barry Brennan

After a wind operation she was first and fourth in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps for previous yard; joined this one for £3,000 and coped fine with the drop back to 2m when a clearcut winner here 11 days ago; raised 8lb but she's clearly turned a corner.

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Barry Brennan

Left behind previous efforts when winning at Market Rasen (2m6f, good; hooded) in May after wind surgery, her fourth handicap start, but never figured over 3m there the following month; bought for £3,000 since and, despite the drop in trip not being an obvious plus, she can have a say.

No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts.

No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted.

Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance.

0-6 over hurdles but bettered disappointing stable debut when third at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month, where he was in front before a last-flight jumping error cost him momentum; effectively 2lb higher here but could still have a bigger run in him.

Struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles last year and was beaten nearly 33l when 9-4 second favourite for last month's stable/handicap debut; needs significant improvement over this new trip but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again.
