Form & Verdict
Respectable fifth of 13 on October's chasing debut at Southwell (2m4.5f, good), all the more so given the unfamiliar forcing tactics; rivalry for the lead if the same strategy is planned down further in trip.

Didn't fire at Worcester this month and now 0-12 under all codes but finished close up in to 2m chases in February/March and will be fine over today's longer trip; contender if back on song in first-time cheekpieces.

Shrugged off the errors better than usual when getting up late at Wincanton in December (2m, good to soft), with two reopposing rivals well behind; risks still attached and back up 5lb, but among likeliest.

Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works.

Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark.

Form & Verdict
Slightly lost in the crowd in big-field handicap hurdles the last thrice, not seeing out 2m4f in two of them; switch to fences can be taken to provide fresh impetus for this nephew of Dynaste out of a French chase winner; blinkers now fitted.

First foal; dam useful 2m2f-2m4f chase winner, half-sister to high-class hurdle/chase winner Dynaste; represents in-form, southern stable and could play a leading role on debut, especially if strong in the betting.

In and out over hurdles of late, though has recorded career-best RPRs twice since December; didn't shine over fences earlier in the season (not bred for them), nor when cheekpieces have been tried before now.
