Form & Verdict
Sole win came in a selling hurdle at Stratford (2m2f, heavy) last April, and was a beaten favourite on first start for this trainer back there a few weeks later; jumped moderately on chasing debut here (2m5f; first-time hood) in November; enough to prove with hood removed and a tongue-tie fitted.

Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present.

Form & Verdict
Fared okay on stable debut here (2m3f, soft; fourth of seven) last month, and has also shown ability over this shorter trip in France; continues to ease in the weights so this looks a suitable opportunity; should make his presence felt given the benefit of that comeback run; chance.

In good form last spring, most notably when scoring by 8l off today's mark at Uttoxeter (3m, soft), but he returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs in December/January; had another wind op (his third) during latest 12-week break and needs to get his career back on track.

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May and did it in good style; however, he was pulled up/soundly beaten on his two outings last month and is hard to fancy on the back of those.

Form & Verdict
Yet to win over fences (0-21) and has struggled badly for form, twice becoming detached, since joining this trainer; often placed over fences in Ireland last summer (similar trips) but his best efforts at Limerick and Downpatrick came on good ground; a risky proposition.

Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline.

A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Reasonably effective over fences so far (0-3) and could strip fitter for last month's comeback run at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) when second of eight, beaten 15l; arguably needs more to break the maiden but is open to more improvement with Brian Hughes booked for the first time; good opportunity.

Still seeking a first win (0-22) and pulled up on last attempt over fences at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October; no positives are taken from three subsequent hurdle runs but is in freefall in the handicap and his doubly represented trainer is bang in form.
