Point winner who left his bumper/novice hurdle form behind to score on handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in November, and followed up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; did it cosily last time and he could still be well treated for his top yard now 7lb higher.

A little below his best when a 14l fourth at Windsor (2m6f, soft) but still ran fine and commands considerable respect on his previous runs, over 2m4f at Southwell (soft) and 3m1f at Cheltenham (good to soft); only a 7yo and still early days over fences.

Won 3yo Listed hurdle in France in June 2022; lightly raced since and tailed off at 22-1 on stable debut and second chase start at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) four weeks ago when back from another absence; not easy to fancy after that latest performance but he's one to watch in the betting.

Having ended last season in the doldrums he returned to form when third of five in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's reappearance at Windsor (3m, soft); he goes well fresh so it remains to be seen if he'll improve for that latest outing, but he's respected nevertheless.

Promising novice hurdler in 2023-24 campaign and it was his first run since when winning on chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely and could take an 8lb rise in his stride if backing up that performance.

Narrow winner of a 2m4f mares' novice hurdle at Ayr (soft) in January; lacked for fluency when down the field on C&D chasing debut (good; 13-2) 24 days ago; Derek Fox takes over in the saddle, with stablemate I Wish You probably of more interest.
