10st 7lb |
Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year. |

Big improver over fences on joining this yard last season, notably running away with 3m Paddy Power here and good third in Ultima at Cheltenham; two runs here this term well below best, in Paddy Power and never landing a blow off considerably lower hurdles mark at DRF; another with a bit to prove right now. |

Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |

8yo former hurdler/chaser who turned his attentions to the Flat last summer; enjoyed a solid spell in soft-ground staying handicaps in the autumn and produced a career best in this code when winning over C&D (Dreams Adozen fourth) on his reappearance in April; found the Northumberland Vase too warm when last seen two months ago but he's not discounted. |

Maiden hurdle winner on soft (2m6f) two years ago; seen just three times since however, including subject of running and riding enquiry at Ballinrobe last year and most recently never nearer fifth of 14 in 2m6f Roscommon beginners last month; potential improver on handicap debut (now upped in trip) but high enough mark on evidence to-date. |

Winning hurdler rated 109 in that sphere; minor promise in both chase starts including when catching the attention of the stewards at Ballinrobe when last seen in May 2024 (2m1f, yielding, found to be lame post-race); tongue-tie is added to hood and steps back up in trip; check market. |
