10st 2lb

J: Harry Kimber

T: Ben Lund

Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival.

Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard.

J: Harry Kimber

T: Ben Lund

Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Won once over hurdles and fences (3m2f) for Robert Walford; five starts for this yard, easily best of them when second at Exeter (near 2m6f, soft) on New Year's Day after 11 months off; that was followed by a heavy defeat over that same C&D 12 days later but this longer trip should help.
