Scored at up to 3m over hurdles at Stratford and fences at Hexham early last summer; well below par both runs this spring after 11 months off, though, pulled up in 3m2f hurdle at Stratford in May; has it to prove now.

Won the 2m6f novice hurdle on this card a year ago (good ground) and followed up in handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good to soft) three weeks later, but returned from layoff with lacklustre chase run last month; now reverts to hurdling over new trip and with headgear switched.

Won an uncompetitive novice hurdle (2m6f, good) last May and the following month made a successful chase debut at Hexham (3m, good to soft); a long absence is perhaps a greater concern than the 4lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Returned from break with two disappointing runs this spring but is now very well handicapped on form shown when second three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) last spring/summer; has a course hurdle win on his CV; best suited by good ground but fine on good to soft; revival possible.

Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C&D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here.

Form & Verdict
Not one to rely upon heavily and was not at best when last of three finishers at Cartmel a fortnight ago but he kept on well for a clearcut win at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) in February and ran well in defeat over C&D on only previous visit to Hexham; can't be ruled out.

All five wins over fences have been at this track and latest was over C&D (good) in May; didn't shine here last time but that was a Class 2 handicap and he still looks on a workable mark; respected on this big drop back in grade.

Stayed on to win this off topweight back in 2023, and gamely back in the winners' enclosure over C&D (from 5lb lower) latest; his jumping was immaculate that day, with his trainer stating that he had drawn benefit from being able to dominate; this rates as a tougher test.
