Out of form over fences in his two runs last summer, having won twice in that sphere last season; also pulled up in a chase here in December, after a break, and now swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this return to hurdling; down the weights and one to consider.

Below par on final two outings last season and this is his first run without headgear since November 2019; however, he was second in this on last year's reappearance (good to soft) and is on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; not ruled out.

Made a winning stable debut at this meeting last year (2m3f, good to soft) when back from a break and he added another win at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March; also effective on soft; this 6yo is open to further improvement this term and could have a part to play on his reappearance.

His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day.

Form & Verdict
Didn't appear to see out 2m7f/3m1f on his final two starts last season; however, he kept on well for a good second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) last November, having had wind surgery prior to that reappearance, and he's had another wind op ahead of this return; very lightly raced; considered.

Lost his way over fences for Joe Tizzard, and debut effort returned to hurdles for new connections extended his run of non-completions to four; likely hopes rest more on wind surgery than a further 3lb drop.
