C&D winner during early 2025 who finished runner-up 3 times last season, latterly at Carlisle (25f) in April. Disappointed next time but shaped as if back in form when fifth at Perth (27f) when last seen in May. This track lends itself more to her style of racing and assessor has given her a chance.

Proved a different proposition in refitted cheekpieces when landing back-to-back handicaps at Fakenham/Plumpton in February. Ended time with Nick Scholfield with a solid second at Fontwell (2¾m, soft) in March but let go for only £2000 thereafter.

Belatedly capitalised on falling mark following 9 months off/breathing operation when landing 12-runner handicap at Perth (2½m) in September. Not in same form when seventh at Carlisle 9 days ago but suspicion the return to 3m will suit and better showing certainly not ruled out.

Looked better than ever when adding a second C&D success to his tally on testing ground in February. Ran no sort of race back on a sounder surface when pulled up at Newcastle (3m) a month later and market best guide now making seasonal bow.

Was well backed and left previous efforts behind when making second handicap start a winning one over C&D in March. Below that level next time but back on track when fourth at Perth (3m) in April. Remains unexposed as a stayer and there could well be more to come this season.

Maiden pointer who didn't offer much in a bumper and 3 hurdles under Rules during second half of last season. However, no surprise to see him take a market step back up in trip now handicapping on return and that can see him in a better light. Worth noting for market support.

Cartmel regular, adding to his haul in July 2025. Rather in-and-out since and he was below form having gone with plenty of exuberance in front when sixth at Perth (3m) on his most recent outing 37 days ago. Others rate stronger.

Shaped as if retaining ability after 13 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23f) in May. Failed to build on that at Perth a month later and others boast more persuasive claims having been absent since.

A 3-time winner on the Flat in France and whilst yet to taste success over hurdles, she ran well in a refitted hood when second at Musselburgh (3m) in March. Probably needed first start for 6 months at Perth in September and she's not one to write off from this much-reduced mark.

Well beaten in a Hexham seller on his latest start in May and seemingly retains little ability. Goes back up significantly in trip with cheekpieces refitted.

No form, with his jumping often suspect in novice/maiden company last season. Market step forward required now handicapping over this longer trip on return.
