Easy winner of three-runner bumper last season; safely held in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles towards end of last year but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and it won't be a surprise if he improves.

Form & Verdict
Just 1-14 over hurdles and was a shade disappointing when only fourth over slightly further here in November but his win was gained at this track (2m, good to soft) and he's a big player if judged on the form of his second to a dual subsequent winner at Hereford (2m3f, good) in the autumn.

Form & Verdict
Ran well for a long way when fourth at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November and his subsequent lesser effort from out of the weights there is not viewed too harshly, but this regressive 8yo has not won over hurdles since 2022 and his overall profile is not appealing.

Quirky customer who rewarded a determined ride when winning on handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in January 2024 and also raced lazily when runner-up on next two outings; not yet fully exposed but has fitness to prove after 325-day absence and is not an easy one to predict; blinkers removed after one use.
