Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); mistakes crept in when below that level twice since and he now reverts to hurdling; sixth of 17 in this last year off an identical mark.

Lightly raced 7yo who landed a Chepstow novice hurdle (good to soft) in November 2024 and it was a respectable start over fences when third back there (also 2m, good; mistake last) just over one year later; pulled up after he sprawled on landing around halfway at Hereford next time; still has stamina to prove but a clear round should see him competitive.

Inconsistent, lightly raced 7yo who was pulled up at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January when last seen; however, his sole hurdle win came here (2m, good to soft) and he was an encouraging third over C&D (good) in November on his chase debut; interesting now back here and back down in trip, provided the ground suits (effective on good/good to soft, unproven on soft).
