Form & Verdict
Useful pedigree; did not go on for Richard Hannon after showing promise in a soft-ground 1m3f Newbury maiden last spring but his hurdle debut third for this yard at Kempton (2m, good to soft) was a good start; open to improvement and can be involved, helped by the 4yo allowance.

Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win.

Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory.

Brother to yard's good jumper Lac De Constance and made an immediate impression himself when coming through strongly late on to win on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft); not hard pressed and has good chance of defying a penalty.

Smart form but has won only twice (runner-up seven times); rallied when beaten 1l by No Questions Asked in Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft; handles good) in January; raced freely and faded in Grand Annual Handicap at Cheltenham last time; the hood is back on today, a tongue-strap is fitted and he may well bounce back to form; if so, he has each-way possibilities.

Improved form when winning on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) in October and strong performances when runner-up in Graded races on his three starts since, including over C&D (soft); this lightly raced 7yo is in top hands and has the potential to be better than this mark now back in a handicap; the hood is left off today, but he ran well without it in December.

Fell late on hurdle debut in May 2022 but he defied an absence and a clumsy jump two out when winning at Leicester last month (1m7f, heavy); may well come on plenty for in-form yard but will probably need to.
