Won two small-field chases at around 2m4f last spring but he's lost his way since and was well held back over hurdles at Taunton two weeks ago; 6lb lower than for his last win but he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere.

T: Katy Price

Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival.

2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap (good to soft) in November 2023; had a couple of close seconds in five runs since and he was always on the back foot after getting hampered early on at Huntingdon (2m4f) two weeks ago; looks on workable mark on this drop back in trip and he's in the mix.

Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions.

Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie.

Made a winning debut for Chris Gordon in September and has continued to run well in defeat; this longer trip shouldn't be a problem but he has been edging up the weights and he's 2lb out of the handicap here.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good) in April 2023 but he was off for 610 days after that and has not shown much in two runs over fences (2m, soft) this winter; tongue-tie now returns but he needs a major revival; stablemate of Angel's Dream and Odin's Quest.
