Form & Verdict
Won last October on first three chase starts (2m3f-2m6f, good/good to soft) and went close at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) next time; flopped at Hereford in December but returned from break with fair second off lower hurdle mark here last month, and could build on that now back over fences.

4-8 over fences; ran big race when second of ten in competitive Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on latest outing six weeks ago and is only 1lb higher here; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground but has been placed on soft; major player.

Form & Verdict
Became the latest success story for the stable with win on yard debut on May 17 (2m5f, good), and again ran well when second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three days later; he should be fine now back up in trip and may well have more to offer for this yard; key player.

Most consistent win or lose over either obstacle for this stable until finding a brush hurdle series final at Worcester all too much last time (2m4f, good); swimming in calmer waters again on this return to fences, albeit still above any class he's ever won in.

Consistent over fences and hurdles for new stable this season, winning once under each discipline; suited by this C&D but may find less exposed rivals better handicapped today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor.

Stayed on from unpromising position for close fourth in first-time blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month but is now 0-5 over fences, and it's not easy to predict whether the first-time visor will get the best out of him here.

0-4 over hurdles and has the same record over fences (raced only on good ground) but ran well for a long way when third at Warwick (3m; wore cheekpieces) in early June and has possibilities off lowly mark here if switch to first-time blinkers has positive effect.

Two good runs behind subsequent winners at Hereford and Catterick (both 3m1f, good) in late 2025; always struggling over an inadequate 1m7f at Wincanton (no headgear; cheekpieces return) in April and perhaps fortunate to get dropped 2lb; fair chance of another win.

Suited by good or quicker ground; similar sort of form in his last four races in handicaps from 2m4f to 3m1f; this trip is on the tight side but he's in a weak race and might be ridden forcefully.
