Form & Verdict
Beaten at least 38l in all three qualifying runs but significant positives can be drawn from last month's fifth of 16 at Chepstow (2m, soft), and he has a much better chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap.

Outran 40-1 odds when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f soft) in December but was generally very disappointing for Emma Lavelle last season; well beaten when 66-1 for stable debut six weeks ago and could be considered only if much stronger in the betting here; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Won Irish bumper in 2021; struggled on first five hurdling starts but, having attracted heavy market support, was very much in contention before last-flight fall on seasonal debut at Taunton (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in December; only 1lb higher here; must be considered.

Won an Irish bumper in August 2021; perhaps a return to good ground today, this autumn's wind surgery and/or the first-time tongue-tie will help, but something needs to after the heavy defeats in his five starts in Britain.
