Acts on heavy ground; achieved form figures of 31112111 during his tremendously progressive 2022-23 campaign, winning at Ascot (2m7f) the final time; dead-heated with Ballydisco on similar terms over C&D in March; big player provided he continues in the same vein. |

Fair maiden hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies; made a promising start for his new yard when third at Uttoxeter in July but only seventh at Cartmel following month; he needs to bounce back. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won his point on testing ground and conditions were also on the soft side for his three runs over hurdles, the best being a near 10-length defeat on handicap debut at Wetherby (3m) last time; unexposed under these conditions and, with cheekpieces turned to, he has to be of interest. |

Hasn't threatened when third on his first two hurdle starts (2m3f/2m5f) but those were still fair efforts and this soft-ground 3m point winner should be an improver now up in trip on handicap debut. |

Not seen on the Flat since February 2020; had some fair hurdle form at a low level last winter (around 3m), including here, and quite possible he can do better in this sphere too; back from eight months off and would want to see market support before getting involved. |

Nine-race maiden but he went close off a reduced mark at Hexham (2m4f, heavy; 4-1) last week on only his second start over fences; that was his most convincing effort so far and has claims if he can back that up. |

Unplaced all 11 hurdle starts; gave good account before fading into fifth on seasonal/stable debut here (2m3f, soft) in November but last month's three runs were all disappointing and it takes a leap of faith to support him on today's chasing debut. |

11-race maiden but only two starts over fences and was close second at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) last week; nudged up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated and has form at up to 2m5f over hurdles; dangerous in another change of headgear. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Tailed off on chase debut here (3m, heavy) a fortnight ago but he's never convinced over that trip and he ran okay for a fair way; good third over hurdles at Ayr (2m5f, heavy) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces and perhaps the first-time blinkers will give him a boost today. |

Disappointing when 11-4 for last month's handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft), having previously shown some staying potential on soft/heavy ground; however, this unexposed 6yo could return to form when back on a deeper surface and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |
