Led close home to win modest Exeter bumper (good ground) in April and made a lot of the running over C&D on last month's hurdling debut, albeit he was held in third before last-flight fall; his tendency to race too freely is a worry but he has a good chance to collect at least a minor prize.

Close second in 15-runner Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) on debut in October; absent until turned over at skinny odds at Southwell (2m, good) last month but the winner was a useful Flat performer who has since followed up; ought to go one better here.

Showed some useful Flat form for the Gosden stable in 2024 but last year's stable debut was disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when eighth of ten in Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft; jumping lacked fluency) in March; needs to take a big step forward.

Started off for Dan Skelton with some disappointing efforts but comfortably drew 10l clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) nine days ago and has now won two of his last three; probably still well treated under 7lb penalty here and won't mind if the ground softens; hard to beat if stamina holds out on first venture beyond 2m6f.

Beaten about 28l when fifth of six here (3m1f, good) last month and is now 0-6 over hurdles; seemed to be travelling okay in the lead before bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of him that day and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but, nevertheless, others have stronger claims; raced only on good/good to soft ground.

Now 9lb lower than when making all over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in early 2025 but has poor completion record in the meantime; pulled up soon after bad jumping error in early stages of a recent chase and now reverts to hurdling; the forecast rain will aid her cause but her stamina is unproven and she can't be supported with much confidence.

Just 1-16 over hurdles when trained by Evan Williams and was unable to justify odds-on favouritism when only sixth of 12 here (2m5f, good) on last month's stable debut; may yet come good for Harry Derham, though, and this move back up in trip will suit; wears refitted tongue-tie; gained her win on good to firm but has form on good to soft; 3lb wrong.
