Two sound runs in the autumn but fell at Cheltenham in January and hasn't run quite as well since; this a significant drop in grade and with the ground in his favour, is one with a chance. |

2-4 on heavy going, admittedly all in 2021 or 2023; ridden last five starts by Benjamin Macey; fell in the early stages on penultimate start and below form on latest, having registered two good places earlier this term; others preferred. |

Fell in the early stages at Cheltenham last time; couple of good efforts otherwise this term but is more exposed than some of these rivals and 3lb higher than when midfield in this race 12 months ago. |

Never looked happy when a remote third to the reopposing Astronomic View at Warwick (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago and now has headgear refitted for the first time since joining this yard; had been in good form prior to that latest run. |

Well treated on 2m3f Chepstow win in February 2022 (soft) but had a terrible time over fences and hurdles since back from a break in November; now goes in cheekpieces after dropping right out at Wincanton recently. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |

Scored off today's mark on last season's handicap debut (2m3f, soft) but fell at first fence in both chases in the autumn and was pulled up on both subsequent hurdling starts (3m2f/3m1f); may benefit from today's drop back in trip but it takes a leap of faith to support him. |

Both wins gained at Uttoxeter; can take plenty of driving and again he raced lazily when tailed off at Fontwell on final sighting last May; goes on the ground and stays well, but others appeal more. |

Signed off for Anthony Honeyball with a disappointing hurdle run last spring but seemingly back in good form in points for Harry Ryall this year, most notably when beating Assassins Lullaby by 7l in Cothelstone open (3m4f, good) in March; has cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say. |

Ended last year with two good-ground wins at Hereford (3m1f) and returned from break with good fourth at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; slightly disappointing on good to soft last month but may still have a bit more to offer; swaps blinkers for first-time visor today. |

Generally very consistent but was pulled up on last month's return from a break; on a good mark if able to return to his best but faces a few questions for now; possibly best if able to dictate. |
