Birrificio Angelo Poretti Handicap Hurdle (Div II)

0-8 on the Flat but took well to hurdling, winning at Doncaster (2m1f, good; first start since wind surgery) in March; 9lb out of the weights when well held in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month, but should fare better off her correct mark at this level.

Out of the frame in his last six starts, but his record over C&D reads 22117141 and not only is he 4lb lower than when winning here last July, he's 1lb lower than when winning this race last year; fascinating contender.

Bumper winner in the autumn and ran his best race over hurdles when beaten just over a length into third of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good) last month; first two haven't done much for the form, but he should still go well.

Four-time winner on the AW and in the frame a few times over hurdles in 2022, but off 872 days before pulled up at Huntingdon (1m, good to soft) in February; will need the first-time hood to make a big difference.

Tongue tied when runner-up in a Tramore bumper (soft) in November 2023, but hasn't built on it despite making the frame in both starts over hurdles for this yard; makes her handicap debut after almost a year off; watch market.
