6 yo Colt

OR: 98

Form & Verdict
Sole success in 18 starts came in a maiden here in 2023; went close back here on December's return from a mammoth absence and his fourth to Tommy Dillon two runs ago wasn't too bad a run; does seem hard to predict, however.

Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance.

Some light at the end of the tunnel after a 13l defeat here in March (2m1f, good to soft) and this longer distance should suit as she's got a stout pedigree; quite interesting with that in mind.
