Gradually progressive over hurdles and recorded his second success in this sphere, over C&D (good to firm), in July; 6lb higher here but he won with authority and should go close on his follow-up bid.

Came good in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt, and returned from break with two good efforts this spring, latterly when third (just behind Jafimgoso) at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago; another to consider.

Two hurdle wins last June and latest was over C&D (good); no joy in just three runs since but he was in lead when he ran out and crashed through the rails before the second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; has possibilities if he can maintain his focus this time and he's well handicapped on his best form.

All three wins on good ground; won a 2m3f handicap at Warwick pretty easily and followed up back in novice company; well held since but he was returning from a lengthy break when pulling way too hard to Ludlow last month (2m5f); will need to settle if he's to stay this far but Harry Cobden takes over.

J: Chad Bament

T: Anthony Honeyball

Largely consistent 7yo who made a successful return to fences over C&D three weeks ago under Chad Bament, with first-time blinkers seemingly having a positive effect; goes up in class off a 7lb higher mark but there could still be more to come if the headgear continues to work.

Last success came over hurdles in October 2024; 0-5 when tried over fences this time last year; regularly makes the frame and his followers will be hoping that first-time blinkers have a galvanising effect; the drop back in trip may not be in his favour though.
