Four wins (three on AW at 1m6f and 2m) and was last seen finishing third in the 2024 Cesarewitch; has gone well over this shorter trip but can only be considered if market vibes are positive. |

Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign prior to his creditable and none-too-lucky sixth in the 2m2f Chester Cup in May when last seen (finished lame); that was on good to firm and easily his best turf form, but he won on soft in 2022; withdrawn twice last month; on the Chester Cup evidence he could still be capable of better. |

Needs to jump better than in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle last month; however, in the circumstances that staying-on 22l 11th of 14 was a pretty positive run in the context of him now being in a handicap and up in trip; could be sharper since that first start in four months and he won a Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m, good) last November; won on soft on Flat; interesting. |

Flat scorer, including on soft, who won a maiden here (2m, good) in October on his second hurdle start and followed up in the Grade 2 Supreme Trial here (2m, good) in November when last seen; however, it wasn't a great race for the grade last time; a long way down the pecking order on form. |

Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |

Tardy starts have been a recurring theme for this C&D winner (heavy); very slowly away again on latest at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); can't afford to miss the break badly at this trip; capable but risky; cheekpieces left off. |

9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful. |
