Back in good form in new headgear this spring, most notably when winning at Kelso (2m6f, good) two starts ago; will be suited by this longer trip and is probably still on a workable mark; could have a say.

Won this race last year and he improved his hurdling record to 5-13 when beating Jericoacoara over C&D (second-time blinkers) two weeks ago; up 6lb but he was as good as ever with that comfortable success and is a major player again.

4-12 over hurdles (including C&D win); out of sorts when pulled up twice in the winter (wore cheekpieces) but bounced back with creditable third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month and has possibilities if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
4yo with Flat (1m3f, soft/heavy) and hurdles (2m, good) wins to his name; beaten at odds-on at Newcastle (2m4f, good) on latest start but ran respectably on the figures; returns from wind surgery over a much longer distance; relatively low mileage and has possibilities if he stays.

Won maiden Flat and hurdle race for Jessie Harrington in 2024; big run for this yard when keeping on well from the rear to give Gallivanted a fright at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 25-1) a fortnight ago; had to come down the outer that day and it's no guarantee his old adversary will confirm those placings.

Form & Verdict
Best efforts when winning (2m5f) and runner-up (2m6f) at Kelso towards end of 2024; still only a 6yo and ought to be suited by 3m-plus, but hasn't given his running yet when tried; now wears a visor.

Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Losing run goes back to September 2022; slowly falling in the weights and is best away from soft/heavy ground, but his last run was well below par and others look far more obvious.
