Form & Verdict
Bought for £32,000 after winning a point bumper in February 2024; progressive in two bumpers under rules this season, last time winning at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft); stiffer task with a penalty and faster ground to contend with but looks the one to beat.

Point-to-point bumper winner (2m, soft) who landed two rules bumpers last season (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); however, he's been unable to transfer that promise to hurdles on his two outings this term.

Dual bumper winner last season (once here); lacked fluency and managed only fourth of five (behind Noble George) when 4-9 favourite for modest course maiden (2m1f, good) on seasonal/hurdle debut in November but returns from three-month break with tongue-tie fitted and ought to be capable of much better.

Free-goer who was on a roll last autumn, winning three times; well held behind Star Of Guiting at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and couldn't land a blow behind Dance And Glance over C&D last month, but he should get plenty of cover in this big field and could outrun his likely odds.
