Form & Verdict
Soft-ground bumper winner; registered a game win over hurdles here (2m2f) before playing minor roles from the front against top prospect The New Lion in two 2m4f races at Newbury; latest was in a Grade 1 and his form is far and away the best in this minuscule line-up.

Soundly beaten here in the Martin Pipe 12 months ago but second of 17 to today's Grade 1 Stayers' hopeful Ma Shantou back here (3m, good) in October; improved to win valuable race in another big field at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in November and should be raring to go today, with major chance.

Dual winner at Fontwell (2m1f/2m3f) as a novice hurdler last season; unable to land any sort of blow when making handicap debut at the Festival here (2m4f) in March and raced rather lazily when seventh (not beaten that far) at Sandown in April but this step up to 3m may unlock improvement; not ruled out.

Looks bred to be suited by this step up in trip on hurdle debut but he was soundly beaten on soft ground in both his bumpers.

in rear in two bumpers in the autumn but he's shown clear promise in two runs over hurdles this year and the first was over C&D (soft); looks on workable mark now switched to a handicap and he's in the mix.

In rear in two bumpers in the autumn but he made an encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) last month; that was a three-runner race but he rallied well and wasn't far behind a useful winner who went off at 1-10; respected.

Form & Verdict
Irish maiden point winner in May 2023; with a top yard but came up short under Ben Sutton in his two bumpers and two hurdle races (both over an extended 2m4f) so he looks one of their lesser lights; unraced on soft.

Irish point winner in 2023; has yet to fulfil initial bumper promise and was pulled up a year ago on handicap debut (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) on final start for Nicky Henderson; interesting to see what the new stable can do with him; market can guide.
