Won a C&D maiden (good to soft) in February 2023 but he's had only five runs since and has been well held in last three completed starts; unseated over fences here last month and has plenty to prove back in this sphere. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2023; made encouraging chasing debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second to Jubilant at Southwell (3m3f, good) in May and there should be little between the pair here. |

Hurdle winner for Olly Murphy in 2023; well beaten on consecutive starts for Harriet Dickin at start of this year and made low-key stable debut last month but sports first-time cheekpieces for this chasing debut and may yet come good for Dan Skelton. |

12st 0lb |
Inconsistent sort who was pulled up on sole chase start and beaten before the trip may have been an issue in 3m1f maiden hurdle in November; however, that run may have come too soon, 12 days after a promising comeback in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle, and this point winner is not written off. |

10st 12lb |
Lightly raced; well-beaten third on his chase debut at Kelso last month (2m7f) but then stayed on well for the same placing on his return there over hurdles (both runs in cheekpieces); looks a thorough stayer who might be helped by the new visor, but lack of chasing experience is a concern. |

Pulled up in sole point-to-point in November 2021 then absent until soundly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) 11 days ago; in good hands and is open to improvement, but a swift and sizeable step forward is needed here. |

Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at just the second time of asking in 2m4f Hexham maiden in March; backed it up under a 7lb penalty with a solid second in 2m3f Carlisle novice the following month so this son of Milan needs considering now upped in trip on his handicap debut. |
