11st 11lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in May and he seems versatile ground-wise; however, this 11yo hasn't been at his best more recently and needs to produce a bigger run on this belated chase debut. |

Appeared to have a bit left in the tank when scoring off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft) in May but not much has gone to plan since and pulled up after racing too freely at Hexham on Wednesday; comes with risk. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Flattered to deceive on a few occasions over hurdles and doesn't seem to see his races out; again weakened to be fourth on last month's chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good); this longer trip may prove beneficial and he has dropped to a workable mark; each-way player. |

Yet to win over fences (0-13); third at Doncaster (3m, soft; on first start since wind surgery) in February, but well beaten at Sedgefield a fortnight later; absent since (107 days) and now 5lb lower in the handicap; others far safer. |

9yo who has been lightly raced since showing promise in novice hurdles in September 2022 but he returned to form with a close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) recently on his second start back from an absence and a repeat of that performance will put him firmly in the picture. |

Regained the winning thread here (2m7f, good) this month, taking Kelso record to 3-9; back up the weights but remains well treated, having defied a 3lb higher mark in this contest 12 months ago; holds strong claims against rivals who aren't in peak form currently. |
