Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 6yo who has been placed in soft-ground chases at Chepstow (2m7f) and Wetherby (3m) this autumn, despite some rather sketchy jumping on both occasions; yet to encounter ground quicker than good to soft but has a bigger performance in him if/when he finds some fluency.

Dual winner over fences at Doncaster on good; yet to win over hurdles and this is his first run in this sphere since March 2023; possibly better for this race before a summer campaign over fences.

Placed in his first two chases (on soft) and looked much more assured over the fences when drawing 19l clear at Doncaster (3m2f, good) in December to register his first win; not disgraced at Newcastle on latest outing but this is quite a rethink over his trip and he also has cheekpieces (tried on final start last term, pulled up) reinstated.

Effectiveness of the blinkers debuted on last April's Hereford win off 1lb higher (2m5f, good to soft) quickly dissipated, and a record of 466 in today's returning visor doesn't quicken the pulse; overlooked.

Form & Verdict
Just held on to win off today's mark for Mike Smith at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in April and may not have been suited by the heavy ground when well beaten on recent stable debut but others have more appealing profiles all the same; cheekpieces refitted for first veture beyond about 3m.

Made it 2-10 over fences when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September but the clear leader fell two out in that race and this 7yo came up well short in his follow-up bid at Bangor last month; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Did not progress after winning handicap hurdle debut in October 2022 and was tailed off before inheriting modest third on recent seasonal/chase debut at Warwick (3m, soft); unraced on ground quicker than good to soft; needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces here.
