Not one to rely upon heavily and doesn't always look wildly enthusiastic but didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m heavy) last month and this track suits him well; on a good mark; can't be ruled out.

Best run during a fairly light campaign last season when second to progressive rival at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; contender if judged on that and Sean Bowen is booked today but this 10yo has not been seen since a lesser effort in March and he's too inconsistent to rely upon.

Consistent placed form over hurdles in 2022-23 but reached that level only once last season over fences; had wind surgery before and after the latter campaign, left Harry Fry and fell at the first in another chase in December; back hurdling today and he stays when on song, but it's a mixed picture.

Three hurdle wins at about 3m; lightly raced in the last two years but she showed enthusiasm for the task on recent chase debut over 2m4f at Wincanton and the return to further can suit; should make the grade at some stage.

Form & Verdict
Bumper and 3m maiden hurdle winner; made low-key chase debut in November when returning from an absence but he fared much better when runner-up to a promising one at Newbury in December (2m7f, soft) where he warmed to the task and looked a potential improver; has more to come.

Bumper and 3m maiden hurdle winner; chasing this term, second of five over C&D (soft) in December; made most and still upsides the winner, miles clear of the third, when getting the second last all wrong at Chepstow (near 3m, heavy) on latest outing; back up 1lb since and that leaves him on a tempting mark, with improvement still possible.

Winning Irish pointer who has slugged it out really well to win both handicaps this season, over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m4f) and on chase debut at Ffos Las (about 2m5f; both on heavy) where he caught the idling leader close home; up 4lb but this extra stamina test can suit; solid chance.

He's now 5lb lower than when winning at Newbury (2m, soft) last February; however, this season's form has been patchy and today's trip may stretch him; major turnaround needed with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Returning from an absence when edging home in this 12 months ago off 2lb higher; his penultimate effort (here in first-time cheekpieces) was respectable and it's perhaps best to forget Sandown last time when his best form has been on left-handed tracks; respected.

Raced mainly on left-handed tracks; gained two of his three chase wins at Newbury; ran respectably with cheekpieces added there last time; capable of being involved but has a question mark over the course.
