Dual Cheltenham bumper winner for Oliver Sherwood last season, latterly in a Listed race; not particularly impressive when winning modest mares' hurdle at very skinny odds at Warwick (2m, good) in May, but ought to be capable of much better than that bare form; now with Harry Derham.

Never really got involved in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March but won two good-ground Cheltenham bumpers (one a Listed race) by a combined total of 18l last year, and her odds-on defeat at Market Rasen (good to soft) in February came at the hands of a subsequent Grade 2 Aintree festival winner; appears to have been found a simple task on today's hurdling debut. |

Disappointing to see her come up shy when odds-on for a mares' Listed event at Market Rasen last month (good to soft), even with her conceding weight all round; beat good horses in winning her first two starts here but that latest reversal tempers enthusiasm and it could also be that good ground suits her best. |

His French wins were over 12.5f, 1m2f and 9.5f, with an overall strike-rate of 3-7; 75,000euros buy in November; probably needs his best form yet to defy this mark on his British debut and he lacks a recent run. |
