10st 2lb

J: Peter Kavanagh

T: Hugh Burns

Ended last season in poor form and was again well beaten at Perth in August, after a break; however, both his wins were gained over C&D, the latter by 10l off a 4lb higher mark in this race a year ago (good to soft).

0-19 over hurdles; set to be placed before last-flight fall at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and should cope with this drop back in trip but we haven't seen her since a poor performance here in May.

Dual chase winner last year, latterly off today's mark at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in October; well beaten on last three appearances, though, and returns from five-month break with quite a bit to prove.

Yet to add to his four chase wins for Philip Kirby during 2023-24 season but has made the frame on all four starts for current stable since December, most recently when third of five at Newcastle (2m4f, good) nine days ago; tried in cheekpieces today; probably won't be far away.

With Phil Kirby when left alone in a match at Kelso (3m, soft) in February 2024, that being his fourth (and most recent) win over fences; runner-up in this last year (beaten 11l) for Lizzie Quinlan; in the frame three times (Musselburgh) for Hugh Burns; competes from an easing mark, needing more.
