Low-grade winner on the Flat and probably achieved little in beating one other finisher at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) last week on the switch to hurdles; faces a stiffer task in this stronger race.
Ex-French 3yo who showed improvement for cheekpieces on the Flat (1m4f, testing ground) in the spring, winning twice at Compiegne then second at Nantes; could have a say on stable/hurdle debut.
Seems to handle any ground; scored twice on the Flat in Ireland; couple of promising efforts over hurdles, latest in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m, good; finished fourth, 24l behind impressive winner) on debut for new stable; the form pick.
Something seemed amiss on latest Flat start; consistent and steadily progressive (in Class 6) otherwise in 2024, winning twice over middle distances; looks the type who could do well in this sphere for his dual-purpose yard; interesting.
Inconsistent maiden hurdler, with a sketchy completion record in France, and posted a modest effort at Newton Abbot on British debut; physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) needs to make a difference.
Has shown some ability on Flat but didn't get far at Leicester (race won by Bramble Jelly) switched to this code, refusing at the second flight; chance depends on how she responds to first-time headgear.
Flat maiden in Ireland, best form when runner-up twice in July; shaped encouragingly in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (2m, good; close fourth to much bigger-priced stablemate) on debut for Dan Skelton and should build on that effort; respected.
