0-4 and inconsistent on the Flat, and stablemate Johnny Ringo showed stronger form in that code; however, she has shown some promise and it will be no surprise if she gives a good account for her in-form yard on hurdle debut.

Won a novice here (7f) in November last year and beaten a short head in a handicap back at this venue (1m) in June; didn't appear to improve for the longer trip when sixth of ten at Ayr (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; cheekpieces now added but he still has a bit to prove.

Down the field on stable debut on the Flat here three weeks ago and goes without cheekpieces for his first hurdle start; however, his latest outing came after a four-month break and he may have needed it; won twice in May (1m2f/1m4f) and could be a contender if tapping back into that ability.

Cheekpieces had a positive effect in the spring, with two Beverley wins; not as good off this mark when last seen four months ago (picked up from Ollie Sangster for 37,000gns a week later) and needs a bit more for his new yard.

Runner-up over this trip at Wetherby (good) and Leicester (good to firm) in June but he was always behind at Doncaster (1m4f) last time; now drops back in trip but he's still a maiden after ten starts and has been hard to predict; down the list.

Form & Verdict

Won a claimer on the Flat and ran okay when third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month on his third hurdle start, albeit no match for the easy winner; vulnerable if any of these are above average but his experience is a plus and he's entitled to respect.
