Form & Verdict
Ended 2024 in poor form for Keiran Burke and was a very disappointing favourite on stable debut three weeks ago (jumped poorly); arrives here with a lot to prove but might be aided by the refitted cheekpieces and it will be interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again.

Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery.

Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences.
