Well backed when winning over 2m at Newcastle (soft) where he was positively ridden back at 2m; was good value for his narrow winning margin and should cope with a 6lb rise; unraced on good ground.

Lightly raced and generally disappointing since spring 2024, having been in a few different yards, but shaped quite well on debut for latest new trainer, in recent 2m1f hurdle, and reverts to chasing on tempting mark.

A fair winning chaser (at up to 2m3f) for Stuart Coltherd but he came in last of 17 back hurdling at Doncaster (3m) on his final run for Rebecca Menzies in January; he starts out for another new yard now with plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on his handicap debut over hurdles but had better form when placed two seasons ago and he's bred to make a chaser; not ruled out.

Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f.

Multiple winner (including two chases) but the visor that sparked a bit of a revival two runs back didn't work so well last time; now on a losing run of 14 and others are preferred.

In process of running quite well before penultimate-fence fall here (2m1f, soft) in November but was soundly beaten in a selling handicap hurdle on Boxing Day and this regressive 11yo has become hard to predict; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor today.

Lightly raced; strong in the market when falling mid-race on chase debut and, despite being easier to back at Fakenham (2m, good), he might have gone close but for clouting the last; likely contender in first-time tongue-tie.

Didn't jump great when winning at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but the hot favourite in second was even worse in that department; it could be dodgy form but they did at least pull clear; raised 5lb.
