Form & Verdict

J: Taylor Fisher

T: Joe Tickle

10yo who has won three of his last five starts and he hit a personal best when swooping late at Hereford (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair and he's strongly respected in his hat-trick bid.

Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more.

Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish.

Well beaten after racing too freely over 3m at Bangor last month and now 0-14 over fences but ran quite well when third on stable debut at Hereford (2m5f, good) in March and is suited by this track; sports refitted cheekpieces and has slipped to a good mark; dangerous to ignore.

Lightly raced and lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all three runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and he needs to find a bit from somewhere to defy this sort of mark, for all that it's dropped.

Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously.
