Form & Verdict
Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths.

Fairly useful handicap chaser who exploited his novice hurdle status over C&D (good) in July, finishing well to pip Yellow Card; has more to do at these weights and is much more exposed than some of these but will be favoured if the emphasis is on stamina.

Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard.

Dual Flat winner for Ollie Sangster, including at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last May; has mostly been hurdling for this yard and he's been getting better in that sphere, a June win followed by solid second the following month; last two Flat starts for this stable will need improving on, however, and soft ground generates a query.

Has struggled to see out his bumper and maiden point starts strongly so far, failing to enhance the Rowleys' good record in the Aintree point bumper latest; tongue-tie looks the right way to go, and ought not fail for stamina over this trip under rules if all's right with him.

Just a respectable third in Maisemore Park point bumper (good ground) on debut in March and looked well beaten when falling in a maiden point last month; not easily recommended on that evidence but his respected stable won two of the last four editions of this race.
