Multiple point winner who is now on a roll over fences, making it three wins in his last four starts when doing it comfortably at Warwick (2m4f, good); the 4lb rise seems fair and he's clicked with Isabelle Ryder.

Went close here (about 2m, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's 0-9 over fences and his two runs this term have been troubling; has his first start following wind surgery, with a tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces of latest start; needs a revival.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have been on heavy ground but he ran well on good to soft over C&D last month when runner-up behind Universal Secret; nudged up 2lb but he usually races prominently and should go well again.

C&D (good) winner in April 2023 who also popped up at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November 2024 following a 182-day break; just four starts since have included two solid efforts and it's possible he can have a say back from a 331-day absence; has a query on soft ground, however.

Shaped with promise on his debut for David Brace when third at Huntingdon (2m4f; chase debut) in December but he twice failed to build on it, coming in a well-held fifth at Leicester (2m) 25 days ago; starts out for another new yard here with something to prove.
