Dual bumper winner (on good and soft) who might well have gone close to winning the Grade 2 at Aintree's National meeting had that race panned out more favourably; didn't beat a lot on his hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, soft) but it was impressive; exciting prospect.

J: Richard Patrick

T: Henry Daly

From a useful family and successful in double-figure fields at Uttoxeter (good) and Warwick (soft; got up close home) on his first two outings; done for speed when only fourth of eight to Aslukgoes in Listed race at Newbury (good) in February, but more testing conditions today should play to his strengths and he's not without a hope of turning the tables on that rival.

Form & Verdict

Well backed when winning maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, yielding) in May and sold out of Luke Comer's yard for £30,000 later that month; carries a 6lb penalty against some interesting opponents but she's nevertheless entitled to respect on this stable debut.

Attracted attention of the stewards on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in May, where he was held up a long way off the pace before keeping on well in the straight for fourth; free-going tendencies again in evidence when not so good at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) this month, so there are issues there as well as significant ability.

Runner-up on debut in Irish mares' maiden point (3m, soft) in February 2022 and, having changed hands for £130,000, she bolted up on bumper debut at Bangor (2m, good to soft) last October; absent since but she has considerable potential if retaining the promise she showed a little over a year ago.
