Course winner at 3m; useful staying form at Wetherby and Newbury in December (soft) but pulled up on last two starts, the latest in this grade at Haydock; queried on first run at this short a trip since 2019.

Below best the last twice and pulled up in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft) most recently, but he was still in contention at the top of the straight and could benefit from this drop back in grade and in distance; went close off this mark at Newbury (3m2f, soft) in December; a possible.

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Ben Case

Stays 3m2f well but pulled up when attempting 3m5f last March (had wind surgery not long afterwards); returned with two close seconds in December (3m/3m2f, soft); for one who makes the running or races prominently, nearly unseating his rider at the first fence probably explains his no-show on latest start; not entirely dismissed.

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Ben Case

Had wind surgery after last season and was a close second on both starts last month (3m/3m2f, soft); back up in grade today but he won here earlier in his career, and on good ground, and he might not be far away.

2-16 as chaser, both wins two winters back; failed to complete last term but, after wind surgery, he stuck to his task very well when second at Wetherby and Newbury (3m2f) in his two starts this season; going back up the weights but acts on heavy and looks well worth a second go at this sort of trip.
