Seems to reserve his best for Uttoxeter and he gained his fourth course success over this trip in May (good ground; handles heavy); however, he was disappointing here just before Christmas and needs a revival.

Five hurdle wins, the latest a hard-fought success at favourite track Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May; didn't run badly last month, after a break, but is not one to rely upon heavily.

Four-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f); ran quite well when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September and probably didn't get the trip when below that form over 3m last month, but his sole chasing attempt in 2022 did not go well (jumped poorly, pulled up).

Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; good effort when fourth of 12 at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is suited by slow ground but today's test may tax his stamina; refitted cheekpieces replace visor.
