Her Tramore hurdle win in August is the starting point, with success over 2m5f on good ground closely matching the conditions she faces here. Today's 2m4½f trip is just half a furlong shorter, so she does not need to make a major adjustment in distance. A mark of 100 is 18lb above the rating she carried for that success, however, and sets a considerably stiffer task after 79 days off. Dylan Cunha has had three winners from 23 runners in the past fortnight, offering some encouragement from the yard.

Her April second at Taunton puts her firmly in the picture, having been beaten a length and a half in a Class 5 hurdle on good ground. She remains on 96, and her second over 2m3f at Fontwell in May 2025 offers some encouragement as she steps up from 2m½f to 2m4½f. She returns after 206 days off, with the longer distance adding a different test to the one she faced at Taunton. Harry Fry has had two winners from five runners in the past fortnight, a welcome positive from the stable on her return.

Her February second at Southwell, beaten half a length over 2m4½f, gives her a credible piece of form to bring to this contest. That offers encouragement for this distance, though today's good ground differs from the soft conditions of that run. Her March sixth at Southwell and April seventh at Market Rasen were much less persuasive, beaten more than 28 lengths on each occasion. She returns from 201 days off on a mark of 90, 1lb below her February rating, with something to prove after those defeats.

Her latest fifth at Fontwell on 15 October left her more than 22 lengths behind the winner, so she needs to find considerably more. The September sixth at Worcester, beaten eleven and a half lengths, was more encouraging than either that effort or her intervening fourth at Market Rasen. Moving into Class 5 gives her an easier grade than those Class 4 assignments, but the extra three furlongs to 2m4½f still need to suit. Charlie Maggs, with two winners from ten rides in the past fortnight, is a positive.

Second in a Class 4 hurdle here on good ground in November 2025, she has a piece of course form that gives her a chance. That came over 2m3½f, a furlong shorter than today's trip, but her subsequent hurdle efforts have been much less encouraging. She was well beaten at Doncaster in November 2025 and pulled up at Uttoxeter in May, before finishing fifth on the Flat at Wolverhampton in September. Tom Bellamy's 32 course winners bring useful local experience, although she needs to rediscover the level of that Huntingdon second.

trainer + jockeyRichard Phillips + Tom Bellamy has a poor win record in Only Runner - 0/28 wins (0%), 6/28 top-three (21.4%).
A close second at Southwell on 13 October gives her a solid chance of going one better in another Class 5 hurdle. She was beaten a length and a quarter over 2m4½f on good ground, so both the trip and going fit that encouraging effort. That marked a clear step forward from her well-beaten efforts at Worcester and Newton Abbot in September, giving her something more substantial to build on. Her rating has risen 5lb to 87, however, so she needs to improve again to make the most of these suitable conditions.

Her Market Rasen win on 8 October was a marked improvement on her winter hurdle efforts, and gives her a persuasive recent piece of form. That Class 5 success came over 2m4½f on good ground, so she returns to the same trip, going and grade here. Her rating is up 4lb to 83, which asks a little more, but she has a reasonable chance of following up if building on that performance. Dr Richard Newland's 23 winners from 100 runners at Huntingdon are another positive, with the stable well established here.
