Form & Verdict
It wasn't a strong race that he won by 15l at Huntingdon (2m, good) on his third hurdle start and he was on the retreat when coming to grief in Haydock's Class 2 Victor Ludorum (good to soft; 14-1); in much calmer waters this time.

11st 6lb

J: Luke Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing.

Signed off for Mick Channon with 1m4f win at Epsom in September; beaten 14l into mid-division on his hurdling debut at Ludlow but the saddle slipping at halfway hardly helped matters; can do better here.

Form & Verdict
Beaten in a seller on his final Flat start but had done well over hurdles until finishing out the back in a Sandown handicap 16 days ago; a repeat of his previous fourth in a Listed event would see him very competitive.

Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat for Karl Burke and won by 10l in a first-time hood at Fontwell (good to soft) on Boxing Day; has not really stepped up on that and the form of his latest fourth at Lingfield has suffered a couple of knocks; should still play a part in this company.
