Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming.

Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on.

Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well.

Form & Verdict
Nothing like the force of old, but exploited some significant help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) for Robbie Dunne a fortnight ago and can cope with today's 6lb higher mark if in the right mood again.

10yo whose losing run goes back 12 races to March 2022, and pulled up here last month; however, he may have needed that first run since last August and all three wins have come here; not ruled out off reduced mark.

J: Patrick Wadge

Gained all three wins at Musselburgh but his C&D third in May was a fairly good effort and he also ran quite well at Market Rasen in June; slightly out of the weights today but won't mind what the weather does; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Dual course winner in spring 2021 (2m3f/2m5f) but beaten about 23l over C&D on both starts this year, more recently in race won by Marajman a fortnight ago; 9lb better off with him today but still needs a better performance; often wears cheekpieces but not today.
