Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) in May 2024 but was well held in a Plumpton handicap (2m4f) in his final run last season; still lightly raced but this looks a tough starting point over fences and he has stamina to prove at this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Multiple Flat winner and latest Class 4 success on the AW (9.4f; three wins on turf) was up there with his best form; however, even if he takes to hurdling, this is no easy starter at a top track.

Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class.

Shaped okay at massive odds (never-nearer third, 150-1) on last visit to Plumpton in December 2024; occupied same position when last in action at Cartmel (2m1f, good; beaten under 10l) last July; easing mark, with Charlie Maggs taking over in saddle.

Won a 3m Wexford handicap (good) off a modest 98 last July; beaten off 12lb higher at Listowel before making spectacular progress to achieve a mark of 135 as a result of a pair of 3m wins at Cork; those were on good/yielding, and these conditions are not certain to suit; if he handles it, stamina will not be a issue.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of promise in four bumpers last season, notably when a remote second in valuable sales race at Fairyhouse (heavy) in March; strong in the market for hurdle/stable debut at Chepstow (soft) yet ran as though the race would bring him on; retains significant potential.
