Had tumbled down the weights, with no win since September 2023, until springing a 66-1 surprise over 2m4f here (good to soft) in May; retains handicapping scope from this mark (5lb higher) but it remains to be seen if he's in the same fettle over 3m; chance.

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised.

Didn't see out his race when seventh on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; Gonnino second); it's possible he needed that (off a two-month break) but, equally, stamina might have been a factor; 3lb lower and claimer ridden; not impossible.

Unable to land a significant blow in three 2m1f novice/maiden hurdles, and might have been flattered by proximity in tactical race here last time; that said, he's open to improvement over this new trip on his handicap debut.

Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes.

No reason to recommend on strength of modest efforts this year at Chepstow and Hexham (twice); however, the handicapper has cut him some slack, and he sits just 1lb higher than when winning readily at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) last November; best form is on soft/heavy.

Maiden (0-12); runner-up three times, including when chasing home Belvedere Bhoy at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) early last month; took a sharp backward step at Kelso subsequently, so it's tough to have confidence; added cheekpieces may eke out a fraction more.
