Last run: 238 days

Form & Verdict
Quick enough to finish third in the Champion Bumper and went a long way to fulfilling his potential last season over hurdles, confined to Graded company throughout and winning the 2m4f Challow at Newbury (soft); wasn't the only one from this yard to run flat at the Cheltenham Festival afterwards; chasing was always going to be his game; had a wind operation; good ground will be a first.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Grade 1-winning novice hurdler in 2023-24; walked over on chasing debut at Exeter before showing promise when fourth in 2m4f Grade 2 novice at Newbury (though reportedly finished lame) late in 2024; pulled up twice from three starts over hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season but starts out for Dan Skelton here and no surprise to see him bounce back reverting to this sphere.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Has perhaps needed his two runs since a lengthy layoff, sixth to Fiercely Proud at Ascot latest; may be ready to hit top form and accordingly looks interesting off current mark when considering his back class (Grade 1 novice winner over 2m4f in December 2023).

J: Harry Cobden

Seemed to need latest run when back from a lengthy layoff; interesting off current mark assuming he's still capable of peak form, which includes a success in the 2023 Challow on soft ground.

W: 11st 2lb

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Placed in maiden and handicap hurdle company here earlier this year, over 2m2f and 2m7f; capable of winning races but has no right to be troubling his two rivals on these terms now sent chasing.

J: Ciaran O’Shea

T: Sue Gardner

Off the mark under rules at 19th attempt when causing 22-1 surprise at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; not one to rely upon but this 4lb higher mark ought to be manageable if he's in the right mood again.
