Form & Verdict
Better of two hurdle runs in the spring when clear runner-up to in-form rival at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) on second occasion; that form doesn't set a daunting standard but he's open to further improvement and ought to play a major role.

Scored twice at about 3m as a novice hurdler last term but badly lacks recent match practice, having been absent for 12 months; the betting may prove best guide to expectations on belated reappearance.

Half-brother to useful jumpers Lord Schnitzel and The Dubai Way; dam once-raced half-sister to smart chaser Thyne Again; easily won four-runner maiden point by a distance in May (good ground); market may guide on today's rules debut.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to useful jumper Theatre Mill; delivered on earlier promise when rallying to win good-ground maiden point in April but showed only minor promise when well-held fourth on last month's rules debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Continues to operate some way below the level of early 2023's peak Doncaster hurdles form, placing but still beaten 23l on last month's return to chasing (3m); down another 2lb but not as persuasive as most.

Short-headed last March on his fifth attempt at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain this term, just 7-2 on latest start when switched from hurdles to fences for handicap at Catterick (1m7f); needs much better and goes back up in trip.
