11st 6lb |
Third of six in Listed novice hurdle at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in December but made little impact in five handicaps since, pulled up latest when dropped to this grade; sliding down the weights but the new tongue-tie needs to turn things around. |

Has been much more potent on the Flat than over hurdles, including with two 1m4f wins last winter, but that form was on AW; fair third of seven at Sandown (1m2f, good) on latest outing but he needs to build on that; first-time cheekpieces join the usual tongue-tie. |

Won on the Flat in Germany in 2019 but is 0-5 over hurdles; certainly didn't run badly when fourth in two Worcester handicaps (2m4f/2m) in early part of this season but has fitness to prove after 202-day absence and the cheekpieces (worn for her last three races) are missing. |
