Form & Verdict
Generally disappointing since winning soft-ground Haydock maiden (1m7f) last March but, with today's headgear combination refitted, took big step back in right direction when second at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) last month; remains on a good mark and is unexposed over this sort of trip; respected.

Defied higher marks three times in 2024 but his 2025 form took a turn for the worse; chance depends on whether this first start of 2026 results in a turnaround.

Returned from layoff with three below-par chase/hurdle runs in February/March but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, fared much better on last two appearances; lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time; can make another bold bid.

Back hurdling the last twice after a brief stint over fences; the first time he'd worn these aids combined when a front-running third at Wetherby (3m, good; beaten 4.25l); exposed but firmly in the mix.

Not solid on his chase/hurdles form this year; previously a consistent sort in this sphere and has a fighting chance off current mark back down in grade, provided he's resurgent.

Royally suited by a galloping 2m4f and slow ground; last month's win here took his C&D record to 161 and didn't feature the late mistake of several previous outings; 6lb rise leaves him with little in hand.
