Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix.

J: Rian Corcoran

June's Newton Abbot win by a nose (3m2f, good) in a first-time visor constituted only the tiniest of improvements judged on RPRs; consolidated that form effort when fourth over today's C&D subsequently, over 4l behind Fane Court, and probably nothing much in hand off his current mark.

Runner-up in low-grade Flat handicap this spring and has made the frame on both hurdling starts; however, the Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good) in which she came second ten days ago was a thin race and she needs improvement.

Made the breakthrough when winning over hurdles here (2m6f, good) in May and it was an encouraging chase debut when she was beaten less than 2l by a couple of these over C&D last month; would need to prove she can handle soft ground should the heavens have opened, but otherwise of interest.
