Returned to form to win in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; back up 5lb he remains 2lb lower than when scoring here (2m, heavy) in April 2024 and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Back on same mark as when winning readily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in September 2022 but hasn't quite been in the same form this year and was well beaten on latest outing in September; can cope if the ground turns soft (not yet proven on heavy) but yard has better chance with Trac.

Pulled up on chasing debut at Huntingdon in October and was always behind over C&D last month; needs to get his act together over fences but has become very well handicapped on some of last season's hurdling form; effective on good to soft/soft ground (may not want it heavy).

Form figures of 2111 after the cheekpieces went on, showing a liking for 3m on soft or heavy ground; might be on a tough mark now (not even taking into account being 3lb out of the weights) and he ran no race last time at Carlisle.
