Form & Verdict
40-1 win at Newmarket (1m, soft) last October; respectable fourth on return in April (1m4f) but finished way behind the first two when third in a seven-runner 1m5f handicap at Newbury when next seen 203 days later; tongue tied in the latter and today; all starts on softer than good; only four in total, so it's too early write him off, especially as 2m+ may well suit.

All three wins over hurdles have been over C&D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning.

Form & Verdict
Progressed very well on AW from last September to December, completing a four-timer (1m4f/1m6f); reappeared at the end of July and has looked in satisfactory form, without making a significant impact; tried this headgear for the first time in the Cesarewitch on latest outing; no great response from the handicapper but this return to AW offers the 4yo his best chance this term.

This first season started with two novice wins over 1m4f, including on Tapeta on debut (sole AW run); creditable fourth of five at Ascot (2m, good) in September; tailed off at Haydock (on good to firm, then heavy) on starts either side, but he's on a dangerous mark; very mixed messages.

The Cesarewitch was his only disappointment for new yard last season and his win came at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, soft); 7lb higher today, nudged up another 1lb following his second at Goodwood (2m, good) on reappearance; respectable fifth at Royal Ascot keeps him in each-way calculations.

Ran fairly well when fourth on last two hurdling starts at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but it's over two years since his last win in that sphere and this Flat-bred 9yo has left it late in the day to begin his chasing career.

Dual 2m5f hurdle winner here in summer 2023 but has largely struggled since; however, he took a good step forward with a tongue-tie added when fourth over C&D last month dropped to this level; well treated on best form and has possibilities, especially if recent wind surgery has a positive effect.

Yet to add to his two 2m5f novice hurdle wins here in summer 2023 and returned from a break with two very disappointing runs last month; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference.
