Won on October's chasing debut at Wetherby (2m5f, good) but that was in a match and he was well held in his final two runs last year; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to step up again after 147 days off; stablemate of Mister Bells.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in two bumpers and three novice hurdles (left Phil Kirby after penultimate run) but showed some promise and he has a pedigree that suggests chasing could be the making of him (dam improved for fences, winning twice); represents a yard having an excellent season and receives weight all round; interesting contender in new headgear on chasing debut.

Form & Verdict
Has taken well to fences, winning at Perth (3m, good) in July and running creditably when second there (3m, soft) last month; possibly found conditions stretching his stamina on second occasion and this drop in distance may well suit; big player.

His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist.

Went close on last season's hurdling debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) but hasn't repeated the form, only sixth of eight at Perth three weeks ago; bit to prove on chasing debut, including his stamina for this longer trip.

10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect.
