Progressive 5yo who doubled his tally for the season when rallying well for Cameron Iles at Worcester (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month; could still have more to offer; respected.

Signed off with career-best performance in May, winning by over 4l at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft); further progress is possible but he might find 2m on good ground a bit sharp on this reappearance outing.

J: Conor Ring

T: Mrs C Williams

Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain.

Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer.

J: Osian Radford

T: Evan Williams

Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, keeping on strongly for clearcut success at Stratford (2m, good) last month; 5lb rise does not look excessive and he could easily have more improvement to come.

Quirky customer who sometimes races too freely and is usually ridden very patiently; won four times in 2022 but has been out of form this year (four runs) and needs last month's wind op to aid a revival.

Struggled on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Bangor but came from behind to cause 33-1 surprise there (2m, good) a fortnight later, albeit in rather messy finish involving five horses in a bunch; only 2lb higher here and remains lightly raced over hurdles.

Won over hurdles off today's mark in 2023 and was placed on the Flat last autumn, but returned from a layoff with a heavy Flat defeat last month and he's tricky to weigh up on this first hurdling start for 603 days; tongue-tie (last used last May) is refitted.
