Form & Verdict
Made it 0-13 when making a couple of mistakes and not quite at his best at Perth (2m, good to soft) in June last time out; however, he posted two good runs prior to that over 2m4f/2m (soft/good) and might not be far away if bouncing back to form following a break.

Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before.

Doesn't have many miles on the clock for a veteran (2-26) and was just ahead of Evenwood Sonofagun and Dalileo when all three were no match for an improver over C&D 17 days ago; can run well again with 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop retaining the ride.

Very lightly raced in recent years, inconsistent and would have something to prove if the ground is soft/heavy; tailed off on the Flat last month but prior to that he was an encouraging fourth off this mark over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good); not discounted now back in this code.

His profile has been patchy since he won a novice hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in September 2022 and he doesn't look straightforward; however, he's dropped down the weights and perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing the cheekpieces adopted last time) will give him a lift.

His profile has been patchy since he won a novice hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in September 2022 and he doesn't look straightforward, dropping away tamely with blinkers added (retained) over 2m5f here three weeks ago; the return to 2m will probably help but he's still hard to be confident about.
