Form & Verdict

Won a soft-ground bumper for another stable last season; beaten odds-on favourite when second on both hurdling starts, the latter at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) one week ago, but has each-way claims at least here.

Form & Verdict

Won twice on the Flat in Poland in 2024 and once in France last year; sometimes races a bit too freely but has made the frame on both hurdling starts, more recently when keeping-on second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month, and probably still has potential over jumps; likely contender.
