Form & Verdict
Switch to blinkers and aggressive tactics has done the job, with him winning his last two starts here tidily from the front; the combination of softer ground and another 7lb rise means he'll need another forward step but that's quite possible.

Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated.

Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer.

Form & Verdict
Much his best effort for this yard when second to Inferno Sacree here a fortnight ago; is 7lb better off with the winner and at least entitled to close the gap but the drop in trip may not be optimal (course win came over the extended 2m4f).

Won chase debut in February 2025 and back to form with blinkers enlisted when second on last two outings, but all three of those runs were over 2m and there is plenty to prove judged on his attempts at 2m4f/3m; cheekpieces return and their previous usage includes that one win.
