Her second in a Class 4 hurdle at Chepstow on 11 April, beaten two and a quarter lengths over 2m7½f on good to soft, makes her of interest back over hurdles. She contests this Class 5 race from the same mark of 103, giving her a sound chance if reproducing that Chepstow effort. Her latest outing ended in a pulled-up effort over fences at Hexham on 19 May, which tempers confidence. She returns after 166 days, with today's 2m7f a furlong shorter than the three miles she tackled at Hexham.

His fourth in a Class 3 hurdle here on 6 June, beaten nine and a quarter lengths over 2m4f, gives him a chance now dropping to Class 5. He fell here in Class 4 on 4 September, however, so needs to put that latest mishap behind him. Today's 2m7f is three furlongs further than both those Worcester outings, adding a stamina question to this assignment. Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen have combined for six winners from 18 runners in the past fortnight, providing encouragement from a partnership in good form.

Finished ninth at Chepstow on 10 October, beaten 28 and a quarter lengths over 2m3½f on good to soft, and needs to leave that effort behind. The drop from Class 4 to Class 5 offers some relief, with his third at Fontwell in May, beaten seven lengths over 2m5½f, showing he can be competitive in this grade. Today's 2m7f is three and a half furlongs further than at Chepstow, making stamina a greater consideration. Paul O'Brien has ridden three winners from 19 rides in the past fortnight, providing encouragement from the saddle.

Finished fifth in a Class 4 hurdle at Huntingdon on 19 February, beaten thirteen and a half lengths over 2m4½f on heavy ground, showing more than in her preceding Ludlow defeat. She returns after 255 days for a Class 5 handicap from 88, a lower grade than that Huntingdon assignment. Today's 2m7f is two and a half furlongs further than at Huntingdon, while good to soft replaces the heavy ground she encountered there. Kielan Woods arrives with five winners from 25 rides in the past fortnight, offering encouragement for her return.

Finished second in a Class 5 hurdle at Uttoxeter on 16 May, beaten a length and a quarter over 2m4f on good ground, giving her a solid chance. She is now rated 84, 3lb above her mark for that effort, so a little more is required to go one better. After 169 days off, she tackles 2m7f, three furlongs further than at Uttoxeter, with that extra distance bringing a greater test of stamina. Alastair Ralph has had three winners from ten runners in the past fortnight, an encouraging sign for her return.

Beaten just three quarters of a length into second over two miles three and a half furlongs at Chepstow in February, she has form to make her competitive in this grade. She followed that with fifth over two and a half miles at Ffos Las in March, and races from a mark 2lb lower here. Today's two miles seven furlongs asks for more stamina, with three furlongs added to the trip of that latest run. She returns after 230 days off and encounters good to soft rather than the soft ground of those efforts.

Won a Class 5 hurdle at Hereford on 13 October over 3m1½f on good to firm, giving him a recent success at this level. His current mark of 82 is 10lb above the 72 he carried into that Hereford win, so more is required now. He then finished eighth at Fontwell on 21 October, beaten 66 and a quarter lengths over 2m5½f on soft, a substantial setback. Today's 2m7f is shorter than the Hereford winning trip, while good to soft also presents different conditions from that day's good to firm.

Finished fourth here over 2m4f on 16 July, beaten three and a half lengths on good ground, a much closer effort than his sixth here earlier that month. His mark has eased another 2lb to 81, offering a little more room if he reproduces that July effort. A second at Chepstow on 5 November 2025, beaten two lengths over 2m3½f on good to soft, also gives encouragement for today's ground. He returns after 108 days, with the move from July's 2m4f to today's 2m7f posing a different stamina test.

Pulled up over 2m7½f at Uttoxeter on 16 May and returns after 169 days, leaving him with something to prove on his latest effort. His second at Market Rasen in April 2024 offers encouragement, having finished two and three quarters of a length behind over 2m4½f on good to soft. Today's mark of 80 is 10lb below his rating for that Market Rasen placing, giving him scope if he can recapture that form. The current 2m7f demands more stamina than that Market Rasen placing established.
