Last month's near-5l third at Kempton was his most convincing effort to date both over 3m and on good ground, but also took his record in handicaps off marks in the 120s to 0-8; still needs to find a bit more.

His second win over fences when returning from a long absence to take a 2m4f handicap at Southwell (good to soft; won on heavy) in mid-December; that race fell apart in behind but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world.

Form & Verdict
Good third in a Class 2 at Haydock on his handicap hurdle debut and that's solid form; disappointed at Wetherby after wind surgery (and tongue tied; now left off) but there's a big run in him off this mark now sent chasing (winning pointer).

He's on a reduced mark and has been in pretty good heart since these blinkers went on; however, he needs something extra if he's to post a first win since March 2025, and a longer trip is probably preference.

Career has had its ups and downs but he won two chases (3m1f and 3m6f) in March 2025 and ran one of his better races of the year when second of five at Stratford (3m4f, good to firm; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) in May; capable of going well over this lesser test if holding his form.

Won twice over fences (2m4f/2m3f, good) earlier this year and back to form when fourth at Kempton (3m, good) as he'd have been considerably closer without a late mistake; it could be that he would appreciate that longer trip now but still looks a major player; first-time tongue-tie.

Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted.

Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) last month; only 3lb higher than for that success but he failed to repeat the form when a remote fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good); that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again.
