Form & Verdict
No longer the force of old but, with a visor fitted, has emerged from a slump in form this spring; drew nicely clear to score at Worcester (2m7f, good) on latest out and has possibilities if the new headgear continues to aid; seems best suited by good/good to soft ground.

Won twice over today's trip in the spring (good/good to soft) but looked unenthusiastic on last two appearances (Flat/hurdle) and needs today's headgear switch to give him a significant boost.

Won over C&D (good) and at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) in spring, but needs to prove he can still cope with a hurdle mark this high and looked very unenthusiastic (albeit on heavy ground) on the Flat recently.

Five-time hurdle winner, the last twice this spring; not seen on the Flat since very underwhelming handicap debut in spring 2022 but copes well with ground slower than good and could turn out to be on a good mark; had another wind op (his fourth) last month.

Came good over hurdles when trouncing three rivals here (2m7f, soft) in May and he ran to a similar level when second over same C&D the following month; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly on his penultimate run and still has scope for further progress; dangerous on his return.

Lost his way over fences last season and was safely held when back over hurdles in February but last month's staying-on fourth at Ludlow (3m, good; about 6l behind Planet Legend) was much more encouraging, and he remains very well handicapped on older form.

Well handicapped on some of last year's chasing form but looked out of sorts over fences towards end of last season and needs this switch back to hurdling (for first time since 2020) to rekindle his enthusiasm; has form on slow ground but is most effective on good.
