Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims.

Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear.

Returned to form to win in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; back up 5lb he remains 2lb lower than when scoring here (2m, heavy) in April 2024 and he's one to consider.

Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today.

He's dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) last February; however, this season's form has been mixed and he was no match for Supreme George when third of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day; needs to raise his game.

Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back.

Won two 2m4f chases last season (good/good to soft) and gave good account when clear second over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn; recent defeat from out of the weights can be overlooked and she won't mind if the ground remains soft; good chance.
