Form & Verdict
Second or third in all four runs and after finishing behind Cheltenham entry Tellherthename at Huntingdon he beat all bar the odds-on favourite on heavy ground over 2m3f here; shouldn't mind dropping back in distance today and he just about sets the standard.

Form & Verdict
Similar sort of form in all four runs over hurdles, beaten between 2l and about 5l (soft or good to soft; tongue tied the last twice); probably doesn't have a lot to find and he was second on heavy ground in a point.

Completed a hat-trick in late 2024 (including a walkover) but has largely struggled off higher marks since and signed off for Olly Murphy with a couple of modest efforts, including in cheekpieces last time; 3lb lower than for his latest success but needs the change of scenery to spark a revival.

Still to get his head in front in this sphere but he comes here on the back of a fair fifth of eight in 3m1f handicap at Wincanton last time; this three-time hurdles scorer is in the mix with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

Career-best RPR but not at all fluent when third at Wetherby in December (3m, soft), and lasted just two fences on sole run since; has neither trip nor ground issues and mark remains competitive, so just a case of whether he returns more fleet of foot following two months out.

Joined Richard Rowe after Irish point win in May 2021 but it's been a quiet start under rules in two runs some 830 days apart.

Lightly raced since Irish point win in 2021 and the comeback trail has yielded little as yet, pulled up on handicap debut here and finishing remote at Lingfield last month; has it to prove for now.
