Form & Verdict
0-7, but runner-up in all three handicaps over 1m4f/1m6f on turf/Polytrack with headgear fitted; beaten favourite the last twice, but shapes as though this longer trip will suit him and unlikely to be found wanting for fitness after 81 days off; respected.

Sole win was an AW Flat race in 2022; easily his best show in eight appearances over hurdles was on latest start when second of six in handicap at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) in June, giving some encouragement for this trip but he's now 4lb out of the handicap.

Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 24l defeat suggests when sixth here (3m2f, good; Trevor's Lad close second) last month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but, overall, his hurdling record is poor.

Struggled over hurdles in the 2023-24 season and, following a layoff, was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month; might have needed that outing and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but is not easily recommended from 8lb out of the weights.

Ended a 16-race losing run when scoring at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) in April and was back on the same mark when successful here (1m6f) 13 days ago; up 3lb and should go well, especially if getting a solid pace to aim at; stable runs three.

In fine form on Tapeta early last year including a win over C&D; not shown much in three starts at Kempton since returning from 341 days off in May, but now 2lb below last winning mark; return to this surface may help.
