Returned to form to win in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; back up 5lb he remains 2lb lower than when scoring here (2m, heavy) in April 2024 and he's one to consider.

J: William Maggs

He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when winning at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December 2024 but he's hard to fancy on this season's evidence.

Form & Verdict
Following wind surgery he was better than ever when winning on his chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, soft) last month; he likes it there but ran well over hurdles here last February; also effective on heavy; open to further improvement in this discipline and he's a strong contender up 5lb.

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims.

Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear.

Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Jumped well and easily made all in first-time visor over C&D (heavy) last month; 6l second under a penalty at Sedgefield eight days later and he's a further 4lb higher today, but over half of the fences were omitted last time which may not have played to his strengths; retains potential.

Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here.
