Beat a subsequent winning hurdler in a soft-ground bumper at Bangor before finishing down the field at 200-1 in the Champion Bumper; he's not the easiest to weigh up and has been off for nearly a year.

Form & Verdict

Very smart Flat form in 2024, including on soft ground; not as good now judged on his exploits for current yard, though ran encouragingly to be an 11l third (led 3f out) at Wincanton behind Saturday's Victor Ludorum runner-up Pourquoi Pas Papa; now has to build on that.

Form & Verdict

Quite promising in bumpers; tailed off in two maiden hurdles but has had a wind operation, which did the trick for the stable's smart Caballero Cliff at Wincanton on Saturday; not that this 6yo is in his league.

Form & Verdict

Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene (effective on soft); wouldn't have won when falling at Sandown and then no match for a dark horse at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here.
