Made a winning start for current yard over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in November but only eighth back hurdling in 2m7f handicap here 17 days ago; visor and tongue-tie are retried now.

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game.

Appreciated drop to 0-110 grade when second under Amber Jackson-Fennell at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) last month but is not as good as he was and needs change of headgear to give him a boost here.

1-4 over hurdles in 2022-23 and he's since been 1-12 over fences; peak form came in 2m chases early in 2025 and there have been a couple of significant absences since; the backward steps on last two chase starts, however, prompt some caution on this return to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces.

Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) in the autumn and creditable fourth at Aintree (3m, soft) in December when his jumping lacked fluency and he didn't see the trip out that well; disputed favouritism at Newbury (2m4f) last month but clipped heels and slipped up before halfway; cheekpieces go on and he needs to resume improvement, with Sean Bowen (on board for those wins) back.

Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance.

Promise on debut in Listed Limerick bumper (2m, soft); stayed on for a 25l sixth of 25 in much stronger maiden than this at Naas (2m, yielding) in January; very disappointing at Fairyhouse latest, however; cheekpieces and tongue tie go on for first start on good ground (brother City Island won three times on good ground).

Emerged from slump in form on last couple of outings, most recently when winning comfortably by over 9l at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here but a 9lb rise ought to be manageable if he is.
