Productive over 2m3f-2m4f from last autumn until this spring, winning six times; however, form dipped sharply with dismal efforts the last twice; this step back up in trip is another reason to oppose him. |

28th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |

0-12 under rules and his stamina for this far is not guaranteed as the ground was good when he was beaten about 9l over 3m at Bangor in April when last seen; perhaps best watched back from a break. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 5y Class 5 |

0-11 under rules but has made the frame in all four chases, most notably when second in quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, heavy) last month; ground any quicker than good to soft will be new to him but he looks ready for another crack at 3m and is one to consider. |

Point winner who is 0-10 under rules but he's shown clear promise in his three runs over fences, including when a staying-on third from 4lb out of the weights here (2m4f, heavy) last time; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's respected off same mark on this drop back in grade. |

Didn't jump well in November on his last run over fences but he's well treated on his chase form last May/June (including on good ground) and a recent hurdles outing was fairly encouraging in reapplied cheekpieces and a new tongue-tie (both retained); interesting contender now back over fences. |
