Tongue-tie went on for six-runner handicaps on his last two hurdle races (2m1f/2m) and he won them both; his last Flat race was in 2024 for Tim Easterby and that was a pretty solid campaign; acts on Tapeta, unraced on Polytrack; needs to be at his best on return to Flat but no shock if he's a major player.

Back to form in first-time tongue-tie when winning at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good; third has since won on the Flat); up 4lb; chance.

Hasn't kicked on since making winning hurdles/stable debut at Kelso (2m, juvenile) in March 2025, failing to see out races at Doncaster, Kelso, and Ludlow; hopes are pinned on a revival with an added tongue-tie; trainer is 5-11 (45%) over jumps here in the last five years.

Flat/hurdle wins on soft and good to soft; still early days over hurdles but he was bitterly disappointing in his first handicap, at Kempton two months ago; others look safer.

Not completely solid on his form since winning a juvenile hurdle last March; however, in good hands and may be able to show progress now handicapping, albeit it's likely needed off his mark.
