Form & Verdict
Defied long absence to get up close home in Leicester novice (1m7f, heavy) in January and fair third at Lingfield (2m, soft) in February, albeit no match for front two; has also shown promise on good going; this very lightly raced 7yo goes handicapping with his yard in good form; respected.

0-6 in handicap hurdles but often ran well and was third of six at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March when last seen; runner-up in a point in February 2023 and his trainer's horses often improve when sent over fences; interesting contender on chase debut.

All starts on soft/heavy; big improver in these cheekpieces earlier in the year, winning two in a row (2m4f/2m3f) and making the frame the last twice (didn't quite see out 3m last time); has travelled from the south for this reappearance and could play a leading role if handling the ground.

Finished alone to win Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March and went close in novice hurdle at Hexham (2m, good) in June; tailed off on recent handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) but went off pretty fast and may have needed the run; retains potential and not discounted.
