Won at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in December 2023 and runner-up there the next twice (2m3f, soft/heavy); well treated on that form but well below his best on his three starts since; revival needed now up in trip.

1-9 over hurdles; reliable in the main and beaten only a neck in 15-runner race at Doncaster (2m5f, good) six weeks ago; up just 2lb and should be involved in the shake-up once more.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't taken to chasing and his recent form-figures contain more letters than numbers; beaten a long way out when last seen at Uttoxeter in October; carries significant risks but he was a dual novice winner (2m1f/2m2f, good to soft) in the first half of 2022 and could be revived by a return to hurdling.

Winning Irish pointer; successful in two novice hurdles in 2022 (2m1f/2m2f, good to soft); had wind surgery after that and rather patchy form over fences and hurdles since, best recent run when second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle in March (2m3f, soft).

Form & Verdict
Might have been unsuited by heavy ground when well held at Cartmel in July; creditable second there the time before; raced only at 2m1f but shapes as if he'll stay this far; possibilities if ready to roll after a break.

Made a winning debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m) in 2022 but his form has been in and out since and he was pulled up on his return over 2m6f here 30 days ago; others are much preferred.

Unlikely that slow ground has suited him the last twice and he was runner-up on good ground in a different race at this meeting 12 months ago; can go well, as good to soft would be suitable.
