Ex-Irish; maiden after 15 races but fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago, on third run for new stable and finishing just 1l behind Damzon and Zooks, showed he can still be competitive.
Twice runner-up (on Tapeta at 1m6f/2m) at turn of the year but, despite a major fall in the weights, has only once been thereabouts in her eight starts for new yard; that was over C&D three starts back and she has had wind surgery (her second) since latest, but there have to be doubts.
Consistent this year, including wins at about 1m6f on AW in February and turf in July; those are her only two wins but her close third of 11 over C&D (never nearer; short head behind Damzon and 1l in front of Tuba) confirmed she is one to take seriously.
All five wins came in 2024, the first on AW but his overall AW record now stands at 1-25 and he needs better than he's shown in recent outings; just held by Zooks and Tuba judged on their C&D clash 16 days ago.
17-race maiden but recent second over C&D at 20-1 was the closest she's come to a win, in front of four of today's rivals; she got first run on Zooks, who closed to a short head at the line, that day but both ran on well and look major players.
The last of seven hurdle wins was in July 2024; third on penultimate outing stands out a mile among her four runs this May-August (pulled up in first-time cheekpieces on latest) and the latest of her ten Flat races was in May 2022, so it's hard to be confident about her prospects today.
Consistent on turf in July-October once upped to 2m/2m1f and didn't get the run of the race when trying C&D on latest outing; wears tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time in combination (has tried plenty of headgear); sole win was at Wolverhampton and he again has a shout.
0-12; third on handicap debut here (9.4f) in January but it's been a major uphill struggle since, including behind four of these rivals 16 days ago when it did not help that he reared and blew the start.
