Four-time chase winner (3m-3m3f), on ground ranging from good to soft; lurks on a dangerous mark but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and has a lot more to prove than some of these.

3m3f Stratford winner last June but recent struggles continued when well beaten in that same race last month, finishing behind Ajp Kingdom and My Gift To You; did run well for a long way though and the return of cheekpieces didn't harm.

Not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in March (four runs) but now 5lb lower than when making all for clearcut success in this race last year and the cheekpieces (worn for that success) are now refitted for the first time this year.

Form & Verdict
Performed below expectations in his last two hurdles but he won two novices (2m3f/2m6f) before finishing third to Constitution Hill in the Grade 1 Tolworth; interesting chaser for this season on the back of wind surgery.

J: Mr Michael Treneer

Won races for Paul Nicholls and Will Biddick and his last success was in a hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy) last January; that form puts him in the picture and he made a respectable stable debut when third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month; possibilities.

Put poor reappearance run behind him when signing off for Paul Nicholls with fair third in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft; behind Gateau De Miel) last month; will be fine over this longer trip and has each-way claims if in similar form for new yard; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Form & Verdict
Very capable off this sort of mark as a hurdler and he got up late in the day to make a successful chase debut in a competitive C&D handicap ten days ago (good ground); there were a few fences omitted that day but no knocking the form and he's only 4lb higher.

J: Sean Houlihan

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Well treated on old form but he's been lightly raced since his chase win at Exeter (3m, good) in November 2022; returned from 11 months off with fair fourth at Ascot in November but he was tailed off at Hereford the following month; cheekpieces are now added and he has something to prove after another break.

OUR TIP

Form: 1P12-U BF

Last run: 20 days

W: 10st 10lb

6 yo Gelding

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
Progressive novice hurdler last season, signing off with close second on handicap hurdle debut here (2m7f, soft); has the look of a chaser but he made a thoroughly underwhelming start at Chepstow (2m3f) when under the pump a long way out and all but refusing at halfway; bit worrying to see cheekpieces added on the back of that.

Record of 3-9 over hurdles for Emma Lavelle and was nicely on top in the finish over 3m at Kempton the final time (May; ground was good but he's effective on soft); since changed hands for £21,000; has his quirks but likely to win more races for his respected new yard.
