Veteran who arrives in excellent form, scoring at Cartmel (2m1f) in July before second in 11-runner handicap there (2m1f) ten days ago; a likely player again.

Showed some fair form during four-race Flat career in 2024 and was respectable third on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December, but safely held at Wetherby later that month and has been off since.

Thrice-raced gelding whose clear best 1m effort came on debut; bred to be suited by this step up in trip and looks open to improvement in handicaps; interesting.

Point-to-point winner; a staying-on third at Navan last September (2m3f, yielding) was her best run for Matt Daly; failed to build on that on her last two starts before a break; down the field at Clonmel last month; an intriguing amateur-ridden Closutton runner now.

A regressive maiden on the Flat but has taken surprisingly well to hurdling this summer; close second to shock winner over C&D (good to firm) last month, form that was recently franked by the third, and ought to be competitive again on this handicap debut.
