Form & Verdict
Did well in staying handicap hurdles in 2023, finishing first and second once the cheekpieces went on; favourite for recent belated return at Ffos Las (3m, good) but trailed in last of the four; may have needed that and a tongue-tie is now added for chase debut.

Two solid efforts in staying chases in June and July (RPRs of 98 and 101), form that would give him leading claims; below that level in two runs over hurdles since but has had wind surgery since and returns to fences off 4lb lower since his latest run over fences; looks a major player.

Launched chasing career with two very respectable runs in June and again ran okay when sixth of ten on last month's hurdling return at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); continues to edge down the weights and won't mind if the ground softens; could have a say.

Won back-to-back handicaps two winters ago, over 2m3f at Plumpton and 2m5f here; goes well on softer but the ground was good when not beaten far over 2m5f here last time; there are some stamina reservations over this far.

Trainer has won the last two renewals of this race with Prince Cleni; this 6yo isn't without hope of providing him with a hat-trick as he was running well until being only a little below his best last time (second run in cheekpieces).

26,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to bumper and smart 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Casey Jones; ran in two Irish maiden points last year, runner-up in October on second occasion; probably one for later on but market should guide on rules debut.

None too consistent but she wanted it badly enough when a rallying winner at Warwick (3m1f, good), albeit at the expense of only two other finishers; just 4lb higher.
