2024 EBF Final winner off 7lb higher; unseated too far out at Uttoxeter latest to say if and where he may have figured, but his poor winter up to that point tempers enthusiasm either way; overlooked.

Very promising novice during 2023-24 season but generally very disappointing over last two campaigns; has dropped a long way in the weights but he was pulled up three times during the winter before a remote fifth at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last time; down the list.

Very promising novice during 2023-24 season but generally very disappointing over last two campaigns; pulled up on last three chase/hurdle runs (cheekpieces added last time); big leap of faith required to support him.

Looked one to follow as a novice when winning the always-competitive EBF Final at Sandown but hasn't kicked on as expected and has pulled up over fences and hurdles the last twice; plenty depends on what effect first-time cheekpieces have.
