Usually races prominently and can make the running; 7yo who had form figures of 1121 in handicap chases at 3m-3m1f last season, notably with a triumph on heavy ground here at the Festival, and he resumed with clearcut win on good in valuable handicap at Ascot six weeks ago; up another 5lb but the extra distance should help and he remains a fine prospect.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to very smart hurdler Song For Someone; joined Nicky Henderson after winning a point bumper just under a year ago and created very good impression when easily winning Exeter bumper (good to soft) in March; ought to play a major role on today's hurdling debut.

Took a while to get the hang of hurdling (beaten at 11-10 three times in succession) but rattled off a quick double in May and was impressive at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on the second occasion; an 8lb rise since looks fair enough and he returns from six months off with his stable on fire.

Form & Verdict
Won Irish point on debut in spring 2021 and made very encouraging rules debut when keeping-on third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft; tongue-tie fitted) in March; perhaps a shade disappointing when midfield on reappearance outing in October but still has potential.

Stayed on for fourth on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in October 2021 and also made late headway when fifth at Newbury (soft) in March; needs to improve to trouble the principals on today's seasonal/hurdle debut but ought to be suited by the stiffer stamina test.

Displayed clear promise in all five Irish points last season and also when fourth in C&D maiden hurdle (soft) last month, holding narrow lead over final flght before tiring on run-in; can build on that performance but a couple of the others in this line-up have more compelling form.
