Won twice over hurdles, including here (2m, good to firm; from 9lb lower) in June 2024; hasn't really taken to fences (0-3), only fourth of six at Ayr (2m, soft) three months ago; this return to hurdles could reignite a spark, but it's likely he's a few pounds too high in the handicap.

Tailed off over C&D on final run last season and well beaten at Carlisle on last month's reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this 5yo won twice over C&D (heavy/good to soft) last season; unraced on good/faster; not discounted.

Returned from 68-day break at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago ago and bounced back to form with short-head win at 22-1 in reapplied tongue-tie (retained); needs to back up that latest performance but a 4lb rise isn't harsh and he can play another leading role if he's on song once more.

Has done very well since joining this yard in the summer, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and he was a creditable fourth at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) ten days ago when fading late up the hill; today's run-in is a lot less demanding and he's a solid contender.

Form & Verdict
On a handy mark on best 2023 form and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces on his second stable start and second run back from an absence; however, he was tailed off at 33-1 at Wetherby four weeks ago and needs to leave that performance miles behind.

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner at up to 2m6f for Dan Skelton; placed on first four starts over fences last season, but absent for over a year and changed yards since finishing a well-beaten fifth of six at Warwick in October (2m4f, good); probably best watched back over hurdles after a year off.

All five starts on good ground; won novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f) in October 2024 for Mel Rowley; beaten when falling at final hurdle on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f) the following month; absent since; a market check is advised on his return but there's a suspicion he's best watched.

Form & Verdict
He's well treated on hurdle form from spring 2022, and he won a point-to-point this March; however, there's a firm suspicion he's a long way below the force of old and he may be best watched now back under rules.
