Form & Verdict

Won twice at Worcester (hurdle/chase) this summer and runner-up twice over 3m2f in September, including when beaten a neck here; that puts him in the picture and perhaps his poor show at Uttoxeter one month ago should not be held against him, as he's bounced back before; connections run four.

No win since April 2021 but runner-up three times last season, in this race on first occasion (despite bleeding from the nose) and then over 2m6f and 3m1f at Catterick; soundly beaten at Cheltenham last month but the same happened last year before his good run here and he's now 3lb lower.

Form & Verdict

Very lightly raced for his age; made chase debut in a five-runner beginners' event at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; acts on soft) in May 2021 and won it easily from the front at 1-2; well related and, if inexperience does not cost him, it's easy to think he will prove a good deal better than this mark at some stage soon.
