Pulled up on chasing debut in January but, following a break, fared better when second (albeit well held) to revitalised opponent here (2m, good) three weeks ago; moves back up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces today; may still have a bigger run in him.

Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on two of his three starts since returning from a long absence this spring, latterly when pipped on the post after looking sure to win at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) a week ago; effectively 1lb higher from just out of the weights here but is due to go up another 3lb soon; major player if coping with today's drop back in trip.

A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022.

Has record of 282324132 since switched to chasing and he ran into a major improver when a front-running second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but they were strung out behind him last time and he should give it another good shot back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Made all to open account at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April, his second chase, and was clear second to a very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; combination of drop back to 2m and first-time cheekpieces (now removed) did not pay dividends here three weeks ago but he's back up in trip today and remains of strong interest.
