Useful novice hurdler for Gary Moore in 2022-23 season, winning two of his six starts; given good chance by the handicapper before this stable debut but difficult to evaluate after 900-day absence; market helpful. |

Two solid performances at Sandown (2m4f) since switched to handicap level, winning narrowly in February then close second (clear of remainder) in the EBF Final; looks the type to improve further; commands respect. |

11st 8lb |
Goes up in trip and could do with settling better than when soundly beaten at Sandown (2m4f) last month; however, the heavy ground may have been too much and he was progressive there previously, with a win and a near-miss (both 2m4f on good to soft); his dam won at up to 3m and he could get back on track with a big performance for his top trainer. |

11st 0lb |
Improved form in novice handicaps over C&D (good to soft) last month, beating Twinjets then head second to Inneston; evidently well suited by this track and trip; one of three solid-looking contenders for Paul Nicholls and should go well again. |

Had wind op prior to Carlisle in October, when pulled up and found to have a wound on his right hind; major improvement when easily making all at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) and Ffos Las (2m, soft), the latter effort marked up as he jumped to the right; couldn't dominate upped to 20.5f at Kempton but is on the shortlist back in trip. |

Had wind op prior to Carlisle in October, when pulled up and found to have a wound on his right-hind; major improvement the next twice when easily making all at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) and Ffos Las (2m, soft); deserves extra credit for latest win as he jumped to the right at that left-handed track; seemed fine at 2m4f last March; thriving and could prove tough to catch. |

Fairly useful under rules for Nicky Henderson in 2023 and was evidently suited by the thorough stamina test when winning open point at Kingston Blount (4m, soft) in February; slightly disappointing when only third behind Norton Hill and Assassins Lullaby on good ground in March, though. |

Lost his way over hurdles and fences after winning a Warwick maiden hurdle in March 2023 for Charlie Longsdon; has yet to produce an effort of note in this discipline (0-3) but on a good mark if new connections can get him back on track; tries a tongue-tie. |

10st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2024 (heavy; won on good) and made it 2-2 here when beating three rivals over 3m4f (good to soft) on reappearance; the glaring concern is his nothing run at Exeter last time when in trouble a long way out. |

Seen only once this season, winning four-runner Haydock chase (3m4f, good to soft) from the front on stable debut in December, but was nudged up only 2lb for that and should be fine on the quicker surface here; respected. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |

Won well over Haydock's extended 3m1f on heavy two runs back; has failed to complete in his two previous marathon chases and was on the retreat, though still in third, when crashing out at the final fence of the Eider (good to soft); can run well again but others might be better equipped to see this out stronger; new cheekpieces the headgear of choice today (effective in visor/blinkers). |

Won on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November 2022 but he's 0-10 since and has not made an impact back over hurdles (2m7f/3m) in last two runs; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added. |
