Some useful Flat form in 2023 and his hurdle mark continues to fall, but tailed off/pulled up the last twice and needs to turn things around.

Won at Chelmsford (1m) in November; creditable second over 8.5f here in two of his three subsequent runs, latest on Boxing Day with cheekpieces added; the winner gives that form a solid look; now 1lb lower and drops back in grade; out of a 9.5f winner; good chance.

Promising fifth at Windsor (1m, good) in the second of her three novice runs in the autumn, but she was a well-held fifth of six on her handicap debut over C&D last month; still early days but her form has been mixed so far and others are more convincing; hood back on.
