Form & Verdict
Unplaced in all five Irish points last season but runner-up in two course bumpers last month (good to soft/heavy); probably sets a fair standard of rules form and ought to play a significant role.

Runner-up in all three bumpers but has mixed record over hurdles and was tailed off at Fontwell (3m2f) in his final run in the spring; on reduced mark for this chase debut but he's now 0-10 and comes with risks attached after a break; new headgear.

Just one win from 11 starts over hurdles but that came at this track (2m) in May and he was a creditable second behind Jeteye over C&D (good) the following month; now returns after 103 days off but he's unexposed as a stayer and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; yard won this last year.

Last win came in 3m Kempton handicap in Christmas of 2024; third to Bill Baxter in this race last year but not at best this season, chasing home a clear winner at Ludlow last time (only two finishers); 7lb lower than last year so don't rule out.

Appeared to get his campaign back on track when third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) and, when a 10l fifth over C&D since, he was softened up by getting competitive a good way out; he doesn't have a convincing profile but his pure ability is respected.

Out of form over fences this season but turned things around with creditable third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m good to soft) last month and it will be interesting to see whether he can build on that performance on this return to chasing.
