Disappointing when pulled up Chepstow last time (reportedly never travelled), but had won his two previous races, both over 3m at Doncaster (good); best form on good ground and has yet to race on going softer than good to soft.

Two small-field wins this term, latterly in first-time cheekpieces which have been kept since; rallied since for third at Uttoxeter (soft) and second at Doncaster (good), leaving the strong impression over 3m2f last time that he has stamina reserves; up 2lb but makes each-way appeal.

Won well under Finn Lambert over about 3m in small fields at Southwell (good) in October and Doncaster (good to soft) in December, latterly in first-time cheekpieces which have been kept since; up 4lb to this mark when a creditable, rallying third on soft at Uttoxeter three weeks ago; has more to give over this sort of trip and may well revert to winning ways.

Form & Verdict
Not at his best on his two starts after winning at Musselburgh in December (2m4f, good to soft) but has won twice and been second twice from five starts here; cheekpieces back on for first time since January 2021 (no improvement); one to consider.

J: Mr Edward Vaughan

Six-time hurdle winner, most recently in five-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month; still on workable mark after recent 3lb rise but needs to bounce back from poor Flat run 12 days ago.

J: Connor Brace

Consistent under both codes since joining the Flints, narrowly missing out at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July; similarly close second the last time a stayers' trip was tried in March 2023 off 6lb higher; chance.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle here in April 2021 (2m4f, good); moderate efforts over fences this term after 588 days off; wore a tongue-tie and cheekpieces when pulled up last time, but wears neither here; best watched back over hurdles.

Won a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in April 2021 but he's not matched that form in just four runs since; drops back in trip but he got outpaced when switched back to hurdling at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and others are more convincing; stablemate of Fletch.

Well beaten last spring on final two hurdle starts and reappears with something; however, perhaps a break will have helped and this lightly raced point runner-up may be suited by the switch to fences; not written off.

Runner-up in two maiden hurdles (2m3f/2m7f) before producing a tame effort on his handicap debut (2m7f); the tongue-tie tried then is soon dispensed with and this lightly raced 8yo retains potential.
