Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again.

Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more.

Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender.

Slowly away and green when 11l seventh of eight here (1m, soft) in August; markedly better when close fourth of eight in maiden at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to soft) 18 days later, having been the first pushed along; cheekpieces are fitted and he will probably be thereabouts.

Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today.

Useful on the Flat at his best; safely held on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m1f) and was tailed off when unseating rider on latest outing but makes his handicap hurdle debut in a low-grade race and may yet transfer some of that Flat ability to this code.

Well-beaten fourth of five here (1m2f, soft) on last month's handicap debut and has something to prove after that; however, he'd shaped previously as though this step up to 1m4f may suit and the added cheekpieces may be another positive; remains lightly raced and is not written off.
