Slugged it out gamely for a 1l success on November's Doncaster debut (2m, soft; pair clear) under Luke Scott; vulnerable conceding weight all round, but may cope better than most if the rain sets in.
Half-sister to Graded novice chase winner Kylemore Lough with two more in Ottowa and Calling Brave elsewhere in the pedigree, so best days likely lie a little way ahead; yard 0-6 in bumpers so far this term.
5,000euros daughter of a maiden pointer from an immediate family rich in bumper winners (one Listed); yard bagged an 18-1 bumper winner last week and has done much of its winning in this division latterly.
October's Stratford debut second (2m, good to soft) looks better form now, the winner all but defying a penalty next time and fourth Tenter Le Tout a Grade 2 hurdles winner since; bit too green to seal the deal switched to hurdling last time, but obvious claims if wiser now.
Half-sister to two bumper winners (one between the flags, the other at Sedgefield for this trainer); definite appeal for a yard currently operating at a 24% strike-rate in this sphere for 2025-26.
Probably value to have beaten Wait For This by further when fourth at Newbury latest given some traffic problems, though by no means unlucky not to win; chance if able to step up a little further on that effort.
48,000euros yearling out of a French 9.5f Flat/2m1f hurdle-winning sibling of a Listed 1m scorer; respected, for all that the yard's formerly formidable strike-rate in Ludlow bumpers has been diluted by a few winless seasons here.
Dam (a half-sister to high-class chaser Handstands) won five on soft or heavy for the Honeyballs, including a hurdle here and a bumper on stable debut; tongue tie applied on debut; check market.
From a gifted family and posted a respectable near-8l fifth on debut at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft), keeping on despite an initial refusal to settle; entitled to build on that.
