Runner-up in this event 12 months ago but he's yet to hit top form this term and came in a well-held sixth back hurdling in 2m4f Ayr handicap last month; still can't be totally discounted returning here off a reduced mark. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well treated on last season's best efforts but this 10yo hasn't been at the top of his game on his last two starts and hopes are pinned on the change of headgear giving him a boost. |

C&D winner off 3lb lower last June (good); clear of the remainder when 3.5l third in a decent race at Kelso last time (2m5f, good; winner went on to win 2m Scottish Champion Hurdle); has won on soft; interesting contender. |

The best of his four efforts so far came on his rules debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in March; didn't look particularly well treated prior to his recent handicap debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft) and his performance confirmed that; drops 4lb but hard to recommend on what we have seen. |

Returned to form with 13l win on chase debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and bounced back from lesser run at Sedgefield with fair third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); there can be optimism he'll be fine now back up in trip and on the forecast good ground; not ruled out. |

Fair fourth at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in September when back from a long absence; tailed off/pulled up since in his first two handicaps (both 2m4f, soft); it's possible he'll appreciate this return to better ground but he has plenty to prove. |
