Successive Class 5 hurdle wins at Ffos Las in April and Bangor in May established her ability at this level, the latter over 2m7f on good ground. Her mark of 96 is 6lb above that Bangor winning rating, but July's Uttoxeter third, beaten a length and three quarters, showed she could compete from it. She was pulled up at Fontwell over 3m2f on good ground in August, however, and needs to leave that performance behind after 65 days off. Jonjo and A.J. O'Neill's eight winners from 28 runners in the past fortnight offer encouragement.

Second over hurdles at Southwell in February over 3m½f, although beaten 15 lengths, he has some relevant staying form for this Class 5 assignment. His latest outing was less encouraging, finishing fifth over fences at Chepstow in March, beaten 33 and a half lengths on soft ground. He returns to hurdles after 231 days off from a mark of 94, 3lb below his rating for that Southwell second. Fergal O'Brien's 63 winners from 281 runners at Huntingdon provide encouragement from a stable with considerable success here.

His second here in May, beaten two and a half lengths over this 3m1f trip in Class 4 company, makes him interesting back at Huntingdon. He is now rated 93, 6lb below his mark for that effort, and competes a grade lower, giving him a more favourable assignment. Third at Hereford on October 26, beaten nine and a quarter lengths on good to firm, he returns just six days later. Today's good ground also featured in his 30 and a quarter length defeat at Market Rasen on October 17, so recent form remains mixed.

Successive Class 5 hurdle wins at Market Rasen in June and July, both around 2m7f on good ground, make him of interest in this grade. His mark of 89 is 2lb above the rating he carried for the July success, leaving him within reach of that winning level. He has finished seventh twice since, most recently beaten twelve and a quarter lengths at Market Rasen on 26 September. Today's 3m1f is 2f further than that September run, while a pulled-up effort over 3m1½f at Catterick in January leaves a stamina question.

His third here on 6 October, beaten eight lengths over 2m3½f on good ground, was a better effort than his August defeat at Fontwell. He is back on 87, the rating he carried when winning a Class 5 hurdle here over 2m4½f in May 2025. That makes him of interest on the ratings, but today's 3m1f trip is five and a half furlongs longer than his latest outing. He was pulled up over 3m½f at Southwell in June 2024, so that longer-distance effort offers little reassurance about this greater stamina test.

Her Market Rasen win on 8 October gives her a clear claim, having landed a Class 5 hurdle over 2m7f on good ground. She stays in the same grade and on the same going, although the move up to 3m1f asks her to see out another two furlongs. A 7lb rise to 86 makes this tougher than the Market Rasen task, so she needs to build on that performance to follow up. She did win at Worcester from 89 in July 2025, albeit over a much shorter 2m, which lends some encouragement on the ratings.

His third at Market Rasen on October 17, beaten four lengths over 2m7f on good ground, gives him a sound recent hurdle effort to build on. He remains on 81 in the same grade and on good ground again, with the extra two furlongs the main change to his assignment. Flat wins over two miles at Haydock and Ffos Las in 2025 offer encouragement about his stamina, though this asks more over hurdles. Charlie Maggs has ridden two winners from ten mounts in the past fortnight, another positive for his chance.

Close placings at Uttoxeter on October 4 and Southwell on October 13 give him a chance, the latter third coming over 3m½f on good ground. He then finished fifth in Class 2 company at Cheltenham on October 24, beaten 68 lengths, and that heavy defeat needs putting behind him. Returning to Class 5 should ease the task, although his mark of 82 is 3lb higher than for those two close October finishes. Ben Jones brings useful course experience, having ridden 11 winners from 68 mounts at Huntingdon.
