0-6 over fences and last season ended with two disappointing runs; however, a break may have helped and he's now 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last December; capable if returning to form. |

Displayed significant improvement to win easily at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November, his ninth start over hurdles, but was not in same form on either subsequent appearance and now has a point to prove. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdle form and he was a fair fourth on his chase debut here in November; however, he was disappointing when back over hurdles at Newcastle three weeks ago and the first-time tongue-tie needs to be the catalyst for a return to form. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

Some fair efforts earlier this year among his first few handicap hurdles (including on heavy), and likewise on last month's chase and seasonal debut; returns to hurdles on a reduced mark and could be involved. |

11st 8lb |
Losing run goes back to a Musselburgh bumper success in 2020; however, performed with credit in two races at Ayr at the start of the year and it was an encouraging return from a four-month break at Punchestown last week when fourth of 16; has struggled over this sort of trip previously though. |

23rd May 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 80y |

Bumper winner who is 0-16 over hurdles but did finish second at Ayr (2m, soft) in February; seems to prefer those softer conditions. |

29th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
20-race maiden under both codes and he's been tailed off over hurdles (2m6f) and pulled up over fences (chase debut) in last two starts; that last run was after a break but he's on same mark here and needs a major revival back over hurdles; tongue-tie reapplied. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Kept on fairly well for fourth over fences at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last month but today's faster ground is probably not ideal and his career strike-rate now stands at 0-26; others preferred. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Safely held on latest outing in February and career strike-rate now stands at 0-25; not an easy horse to enthuse over but it's worth remembering he went very close over hurdles here (2m1f, soft) last summer. |

Down the field on first two starts and pulled up in C&D novice and maiden hurdles the last twice; a transformation is needed in a first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut. |

11st 8lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April; the first-time cheekpieces may help him jump better but that's very much necessary following sizeable defeats this season on his first two chase runs. |
