His last win was over C&D in late 2024 but 0-11 in the meantime and hasn't delivered an effort of note this campaign. |

He's dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when winning at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in December 2024 but he's hard to fancy on this season's evidence. |

1st Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Given break after a lacklustre performance last May and again looked out of sorts when reappearing last month; can't be supported with any confidence at present but she's now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D (heavy) on chasing debut last March. |

Jumping lacked fluency last spring on first three chase starts and pulled up when last seen; however, she showed promise on her first two runs over fences and could have a part to play if back on song after a break. |

Dual course winner, including over C&D last September, when 1lb lower; well below that level since, including when 50-1 and tailed off on last month's reappearance; bit to prove. |

Won two four-runner Uttoxeter chases (2m4f/3m) in early part of last season but looked out of sorts when last seen in the autumn and is 7lb out of the weights here; seems best on good/good to soft ground. |

Goes well from the front and won a Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) in December, but he's far from consistent these days and ran poorly at Ffos Las six weeks later; chance may depend on getting an uncontested lead. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Easily won two-finisher Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago, after a layoff, but the value of that form is open to question and he's been very inconsistent in recent years; not an easy one to predict. |

0-5 for this yard but he made a good start and it was a return to form when only 5l away over C&D last time (weakening late on); unlikely to be far away with a repeat of that form. |

Three-time winner over hurdles but Flat career has been just four races on Tapeta, fading into fourth of eight off this mark when upped to 2m last month for Flat handicap debut (disqualified; jockey failed to weigh in); switches to turf and needs improvement. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of eight in 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; headgear is dispensed with now but he still needs considering eased 1lb. |

His form has been up and down and he was a soundly beaten third at Doncaster (2m, good) last month; however, prior to that he won a big-field handicap over that C&D (good) and was runner-up on soft ground earlier in the season; capable of a bold show if at his best. |

Tends to be all or nothing, winning four of his 14 attempts over hurdles but finishing unplaced in the other ten; back to form in first-time blinkers at Sedgefield last month; every chance off 3lb higher if in the mood again and has won over C&D and on good ground. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Triple hurdles winner at up to 2m3f (on good/good to soft), twice from slightly higher marks; handicapper has had his measure since the most recent of those at Catterick 13 months ago; blinkers go on; not ruled out but genuine soft ground would be a concern. |

Well beaten on soft ground (back from layoff) last month; successful three times last season, most recently off this mark over C&D (good) in March; has a fighting chance if back to that form. |

Verdict
It might pay to give another chance to low-mileage 6yo HALF THE FREEDOM, who appeared to find 2m5f too taxing at Exeter last month and is better judged on his clear second to a progressive rival over 2m in October. Heritier has been in very good form over fences this autumn and is respected on his return to hurdling, but a bigger threat may come from Bay Of Intrigue who was placed on good ground last month and ought to be better suited by today’s slower conditions. Last year’s winner Lady Tremaine also warrants consideration.[Chris Wilson]
