Well backed when reverting to fences at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November and bounced back to form with a win; his inconsistent profile is a concern but he remains well treated back up 5lb and has won over C&D. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy ground; has shown some fair form in points, but was well beaten last time and faces a stiffer task here. |

22nd Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky. |

Pulled up at Market Rasen in December but has run well in three other chases, the latest when touched off at Uttoxeter (in cheekpieces for first time); good to firm ground asks a question but clearly the one to beat. |

23rd May 2023 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Yet to win over fences but acts well over C&D and heavy ground has tested him on last two starts, finding little in the closing stages when last seen in March (cheekpieces added, retained today); this less draining ground can suit; thereabouts again. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
30th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
His jumping wasn't great over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago but he nevertheless returned to form with that second to Ex S'Elance, and the first-time cheekpieces could help him find greater fluency today; player. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls in March 2019 (2m4f, good to soft); not as good over fences so far although twice runner-up to a progressive sort over 2m4f/2m5f last season (one here); won a point on heavy and interesting back down in trip. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Chasing this season has not worked out but he's well handicapped if reverting to the 3m hurdle form he showed last January-March; wore cheekpieces latest two starts; needs a close look. |
8/1 |

5th 2 |
3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
He's well treated on his staying hurdle form from early last year (including on good ground) but his two chase starts have yielded a mid-race fall and a soundly beaten fifth of seven; something to prove in this sphere. |

10st 8lb |
3m winner here in late 2022 when a stone higher in the weights; a series of disappointing runs followed and now he's hard to trust; tried cheekpieces and a tongue-tie during that time and now goes in a visor. |

Won at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last November and well treated on that form; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he's been pulled up the last twice; plenty to prove. |

28th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

14th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Some solid form in handicap hurdles last season (including on soft) and he kept on for a fair third of six on his chase and seasonal debut at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; this first crack at a staying trip is well worth a go and he's on the shortlist. |
