Form & Verdict

Split two next-time winners (Boleyn Boy third) when second in an identical C&D contest in June (good), and her own Uttoxeter success 13 days later rates similar form; recent return second is as close as she's ever gone on ground easier than good, and she's not hard to shortlist.

Form & Verdict

Has recorded three of her better efforts since returning this autumn, if perhaps not finding as much as expected in a Plumpton chase latest (3m2f); tailed off in this race last year, albeit off 14lb higher.

Asserted up the run-in to land a 2m4f maiden here latest (good to soft), having been outpaced; has already been held off high-90s marks in handicaps so work on under the penalty, but does look ready for a longer trip.

Won 3m1f Huntingdon hurdle (good to soft) off 1lb higher last October and would have gone close but for falling on follow-up bid; ran well for a long way on last month's chase debut before the lack of a recent run took its toll and should be all the sharper for that experience; interesting.

Won over hurdles at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) last October and he was stalking the leader when falling three out at Fakenham (2m7f) in his final run last year; now goes chasing after a lengthy absence but he's only 1lb higher than for his win and he seems versatile trip-wise; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict

Lost his way over fences for Joe Tizzard, and debut effort returned to hurdles for new connections extended his run of non-completions to four; likely hopes rest more on wind surgery than a further 3lb drop.

Point winner who went 0-9 under rules for Joe Tizzard (in same ownership) and failed to complete in his last three chases; placed in two novice hurdles earlier in career and on a dangerous mark if new trainer can get him going again.
