Form & Verdict
Made the frame in two maiden hurdles for Harry Derham in April (1m7f/2m) and ran about as well as could have been expected when never-dangerous third in another for new stable in June (2m6f); suited by good/good to soft ground; ought to be competitive now back in a handicap.

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised.

Back from eight-month break with two good runs in today's headgear combination this season, more recently when third at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month; should cope if the ground is softer here; likely contender.
