Form & Verdict
Quirky customer who sometimes looks reluctant to jump off; returned from layoff with win off much reduced mark at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but his subsequent run was disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; swaps blinkers for refitted visor.

Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict.

Three-time hurdle winner this season and added to his tally on last month's chasing debut at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), asserting on run-in to score by 5l; only 3lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if the ground ends up good; sports first-time blinkers; must be considered.

3-9 over hurdles, the wins at 2m5f-3m1f (one here), and recent effort off this mark under Chad Bament when second around here was solid; probably on a stiff enough mark, but appeals as the type to improve for fences and a bold showing can be expected on chase debut.

Sole win was an AW Flat race in 2022; easily his best show in eight appearances over hurdles was on latest start when second of six in handicap at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) in June, giving some encouragement for this trip but he's now 4lb out of the handicap.

Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 24l defeat suggests when sixth here (3m2f, good; Trevor's Lad close second) last month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but, overall, his hurdling record is poor.
