Seemingly aided by tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces in the autumn, most notably when making all to open account over hurdles here (2m1f, soft); has shaky record over fences (unplaced all four attempts), though.

Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out.

Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise.

Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 5yo who was well beaten on debut in Ireland last May but, with a hood fitted, has made the frame in three maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m4f) for new stable this year; switched to fences for this handicap debut; interesting.

Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry.

Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level.

Best run over fences when 3.25l second to Tanking Along (13lb worse off) at Sedgefield in March (2m, good); reportedly ran flat when well beaten at Southwell next time (2m4f, good); should fare better.

Form & Verdict

Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today.

Gained all four wins here (two over C&D); about 13l behind Tanking Along over hurdles here (2m1f, soft) on latest outing but will be better suited by the quicker ground today, and reverts to chasing on a good mark.
