Wins on ground ranging from good to soft; won both hurdle starts here much earlier in career and dual winning pointer in Ireland last spring; creditable debut for new yard at Lingfield in December but well below best when pulled up next time; aids left off; hard to assess.

Came from poor position to win by 7l on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 and returned from long absence with good second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August, where he travelled much more sweetly; it's hard to tell what mood he'll be in here but he could still have significant potential over fences.

Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit.

Handicap newcomers Realm Of Glory (second choice) and Mikhailovich may take a step forward but DUKE OF MORAVIA looks to have plenty going for him after his staying-on third over a shorter trip last time.[Jonathan Neesom]
