11th foal; brother to a point winner, half-brother to the bumper and pretty useful hurdle winners Dorabelle (2m-2m3f) and The Weatherman (2m); dam sister to bumper and smart 2m-2m2f hurdle winner Colonel Yeager; looked set to win on debut in an Irish point when he fell at the last, but made all in one in January (yielding to soft); tongue tied today; £130,000 buy in February and one to note.

0-8 under rules in France but twice placed on very soft over fences (2m2f and about 2m3f) late last year; withdrawn twice recently from maiden hurdles (self certificate, then good ground); interesting to see how he fares in the market on this debut for in-form stable after 238 days off.

Generally very disappointing since winning last season's Eider Chase at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft) by 16l but took small step back in right direction when fourth over hurdles last month (wore first-time blinkers) and is too well handicapped to rule out on this return to chasing; usual cheekpieces back on.

Hasn't run a race of note since winning last season's 4m1f Eider Chase at Newcastle, in which his struggles continued last time out (tailed off or pulled up over hurdles prior to that); too well handicapped to rule out and blinkers go on for cheekpieces.

Stormed clear for a 16l win under Freddie Mitchell in this race last year, form which has not been seen from him before or since but his last three outings were over hurdles; 11lb higher (10lb out of the handicap) than 12 months ago but well treated if he returns to that peak form and stranger things have happened.
