Had win op since pulled up in a Listed race; one to consider on handicap debut

Made all at Hexham but this might not pan out quite so favourably

Could be fine off this mark and new trainers fit a tongue-tie after wind surgery

Mark took a hit for three wins earlier this year but she might be better for a break
