Clearcut winner of three maiden/novice hurdles since the turn of the year; far from exposed now tackling fences and he goes well on this sort of ground.

Ran no race at Windsor in January; however, prior to that he went close in a Class 2 handicap at Sandown (2m, soft; effective on good to soft); on a handy mark if factoring in Harry Atkins' claim; front runner, and not the only one.

Consistent 10yo who was third in this last year (soft) and reappeared with close second to Go Dante at Sandown (2m, soft) last month; up 2lb to a career-high mark but can give another good account and 7lb claimer Harry Atkins, who is enjoying a fine winter, rides him for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Looked good in winning two bumpers and despite some novicey jumping he slammed a respected rival in a 2m3f heavy-ground handicap hurdle at Chepstow when last seen in February 2021 (off 16lb lower); will need to pay fences greater respect and he has a long absence to overcome; had wind operation.

Second-season chaser who shaped with some encouragement in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) on reappearance but has disappointed twice since; slipping in the weights but needs to rediscover his spark.

Won emphatically at Haydock (2m5f, soft) and Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last season and looked ready for a step up in distance when a never-nearer sixth of 14 to Stage Star in the 2m4f Paddy Power here on reappearance; bred to relish today's extra yardage (he's out of a half-sister to the high-class staying jumper Time For Rupert) and looks a fascinating candidate at the bottom of the weights.

Form & Verdict
A slight concern that all his wins have come in bigger fields but he was a class act over hurdles when on his game, winning two valuable handicaps and holding his own in the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle last season; on a high mark for chasing debut but one that's not beyond him.

2021 was his year when winning valuable handicaps at Newbury and Ascot; now on a losing run of 12 and last season was mostly a washout; has to turn a corner but he's very well handicapped.

Successful in two notable handicaps in 2021, one of them here, and looks well treated on that smart form; however, he's on an 11-race losing sequence and had no obvious excuses when only fifth of the seven finishers at Kempton just after Christmas.
