Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
His losing run goes back 13 races to July 2021 and this is his first start since last December (wind surgery since); however, he goes well fresh and was in pretty good form when last seen; could be thereabouts.

Won here (2m5f, good) in February and back to form to score at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 12 days ago; there is a question mark regarding this drop back in trip but he's not short of pace and is respected up just 2lb.

Won over C&D (good) last May and returned from an absence with a fair third at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month; could build on that latest performance today and he's one to consider.

Two wins this summer, the latest off 6lb lower at Worcester four weeks ago; goes well for Will Featherstone, whose 10lb claim should again prove useful, and appears much better when able to lead; acts on good and soft.

Form & Verdict
Didn't threaten last July on sole chase start (2m, good) but it wasn't a bad run and he was a good second over hurdles (2m1f, good) the following month on his last jumps outing; some good performances on Flat AW this year and not ruled out now back over fences.

Opened account in small-field handicap hurdle here (2m, good) a year ago and his next two hurdle runs were perfectly respectable but his record over fences during the 2021-22 season was very uninspiring, and he has fitness to prove after 322 days off.
